History
Volleyball was invented in 1895 by
William G. Morgan, physical director of the
Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA)
in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was designed
as an indoor sport for businessmen who
found the new game of basketball too
vigorous.
Morgan called the sport “mintonette,” until a professor
from Springfield College in Massachusetts noted the
volleying nature of play and proposed the name of
“volleyball.” The original rules were written by Morgan and
printed in the first edition of the Official Handbook of the
Athletic League of the Young Men’s Christian Associations
of North America (1897). The game soon proved to have
wide appeal for both sexes in schools, playgrounds, the
armed forces, and other organizations in the United States,
and it was subsequently introduced to other countries.
Nature
Volleyball, 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. To prevent this a player on the opposing team bats the ball up and toward
a teammate before it touches the court surface—that teammate may then volley it
back across the net or bat it to a third teammate who volleys it across the net. A
team is allowed only three touches of the ball before it must be returned over the net.

Origin
Volleyball has come a long way from
the dusty-old YMCA gymnasium of Holyoke,
Massachusetts, USA, where the visionary
William G. Morgan invented the sport back in
1895. It has seen the start of two centuries
and the dawn of a new millennium.
People involved
In competition each team consists of six players, three of whom take the
forward positions in a row close to and facing the net, the other three playing the
back court. (An exception to this rotation is the libero, a position introduced at the
2000 Olympics; see below.)
