“Bulldogs VSU” – Basketball Team
The “Bulldogs” basketball team was founded in 2009. The team was drawn from eighth-year-old pupils of school № 1 in Vologda. The organizer and coach of the team was Tatyana Nikolaevna Karamysheva. Why was this name chosen for the team? In the UK, people believe that the bulldog is a noble and strong dog. The bulldogs have the qualities of a fearless fighter. The bulldog is not afraid of anyone. Young athletes need all these qualities. We believe that these will help us defeat even the strongest opponents. And besides, the team has a mascot—a bulldog named LeBron.
Ten years later some of the pupils became students of Vologda State University. In the 2018-2019 season, the team joined the Association of Student Basketball under the name “Bulldogs VSU.”
