History
The charter of the club was approved in the winter of 1910. One of the largest sports organizations in Moscow in the 1910s, had 170 members.
It was originally intended to give the club a name: “English Sports Club”, but since Moscow already had an English club, the founders of the club settled on the name: “British Sports Club”. Only British, British subjects can be enrolled in the number of full members of the named club.
The club opened its operations with ready-made sports forces. The composition of its members included well-known players in lawn tennis brothers F. and G. Belle, who until recently had no rivals in Moscow, as well as some prominent athletes like Nash, Whitehead, Parker, Jones, Charnock, etc.
The club was very well settled at the Nevsky Stearin Plant in Lefortovo , where it had four magnificent venues for lawn tennis, and soon opened the best football ground in Moscow. At the same time, the club organized a football team that played in matches.
In the first year of its existence, the club’s football team took first place among local teams. In 1910, the British had already played against all Moscow football teams and won. In the autumn season of 1910, although the British did not play in the official matches for the cup of the first teams, in private matches they won alternately against all the Moscow teams.
In the winter season of 1911, the club intensively cultivated hockey, although without much success, taking fourth place for the season after Union , Yacht Club and SKS . The first hockey team of the club has only one victory - over the team of the First gymnastic society "Falcon" .
