History of Women's Basketball (Before WNBA)

While Dr. James Naismith was inventing Basketball, the ladies wanted to be involved with the same sport. With the insane changes to the rules, it seemed almost difficult to play but it seem to work out in the end.
This video will explain the rule differences from the men's game, how the WNBA was formed, and the first dunk ever made in WNBA history.

I am taking a basketball class and this video helped me doing my homework because they asked to discuss about the history of women's basketball. It is a very well structured video. Good job!

Netball is the sport that evolved from the old women's basketball rules. It's its own sport with its own rules. It's still big in some countries like Australia and NZ. Surprised you didn't even mention it..

Video had a nice beginning teaching us about the early years. But it is mind boggling in a video about women's basketball to ignore the following: 1. The love of girls basketball in Iowa with THOUSANDS attending high school games for decades, 2. Title IX's significance to the growth of girls basketball 3. The Women's Professional League (1978-1981) with 17 (coast to coast) teams and MANY players sacrificing without pay therefore laying the foundation so that the WNBA could exist. Type in "Molly Bolin" to see some of her scoring highlights.

She was nicknamed “Machine Gun” Molly. Movies I recommend, “Mighty Macs” about Immaculata College and “New Providence” about the end of 6 on 6 girls High school basketball in Iowa
