4. INTRODUCTION
• 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.
5. 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.
