 Women's Sports Foundation History
Indeed, they initially popularized the newly created sports of basketball and volleyball, and it was the rapid spread of such sports, as well as field hockey, cycling, and tennis, that encouraged their teachers and recreation supervisors to form associations and write rules.
However, many of the women who came to control sports for girls and adults, especially in institutions such as schools and colleges, had accepted the warnings of the medical profession that unfettered athletic competition would harm female participants, physically and psychologically, and detract from or even diminish their femininity.
By 1920 school and college sports were often played not in contests between teams representing their institutions, but in play days or sport days, in which the convened teams were broken up and the players assigned to mixed school teams.

Another word that dictionaries refer to as contributing to the origin of the word “sport” is disport which was borrowed from Old French desporter, literally, “to carry away”, as of the attention from serious matters (des- “away”, from Latin dis-, + porter “to carry or to bear”, from Latin portare.
