History
Volleyball was created in 1985 by William G. Morgan, an instructor at the
YMCA in Holyhoke, Massachusetts. He decided to blend elements of
basketball, baseball, tennis and handball to create what he called
“mintonette”. As observers watched the game, they noticed that players
were “volleying” the ball back and forth. Thus, its name was changed to
volleyball. The first game was played at Springfield College in 1896.
In 1928 it became apparent that official rules were needed, and the
USVBA (United States Volleyball Association) was formed.
Today both men and women play professional volleyball, and more than
46 million Americans enjoy playing the game as pare of leisure time
activity.
What is Volleyball?
Is a game played by two teams, usually of six
players on a side, in which the players use
their hands to bat a ball back and forth over
a high net, trying to make the ball touch the
court within the opponents playing area
before it can be returned.
