James Naismith was born on November 6, 1861 in Almonte, Ontario, Canada to John Naismith and Margaret Young (b. 1833). He was orphaned in 1873 and raised by family members.

He returned to complete his high school equivalency in 1.5 years, graduating in 1883.
Naismith received his B.A. in Physical Education from McGill in 1883, where he was active in football, rugby, lacrosse and ground gymnastics. In 1887, he entered the Presbyterian College of Theology in Montreal, earning his religion degree in 1890. That same year he moved to attend Springfield College in Massachusetts. After completing his studies, Naismith accepted a position as professor at Springfield and remained at the college until 1895.
