Note: This sport appeared in 1950 in poor neighborhoods of the United States. Streetball is a street basketball, which is different from the classic by number of players and game area. There are two participating teams. Number of team players can vary, but usually there are 3 players in one team. An integral part of Streetball, which distinguishes it from basketball, is performing tricks with the ball during the game and slam-dunk variety. Another feature of Streetball is "rough" game, i.e. use of force techniques and some distracting maneuvers to pass to the opponents’ ring. Streetball came to Ukraine in 1995. Since then Basketball Federation of Ukraine does its development.
