Piterbasket

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Piterbasket in Lithuania.

Piterbasket (ru. - Питербаскет, lt. - piterbolas, trikrepšis) is a team sport closely resembling basketball. The game was initially created for kindergarten children, but is now played by adults and handicapped athletes.[1]

Piterbasket was created by Anatolij Nesmejanov in Saint Petersburg, Russia in 2002.[2] In 2010 in Kaunas, Lithuania held the world's first international piterbasket match between Kaunas and Saint Petersburg teams. In 2011, piterbasket was included in Lithuania's national Olympic kindergarten festival programme.
