VOLLEYBALL
I. 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 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.
