Volleyball is a team
sport in which two teams of
six players are separated
by a net. Each team tries
to score points by
grounding a ball on the
other team's court under
organized rules.
Initially under the name Mintonette, she was born on
February 9, 1895 in the United States, in Holyoke,
Massachusetts. Its inventor was William G. Morgan, a
YMCA director of physical education.
Basic Volleyball Rules for Playing the Game:
• 6 players on a team, 3 on the front row and 3 on
the back row.
• Maximum of three hits per side.
• Player may not hit the ball twice in succession (A
block is not considered a hit)
• Ball may be played off the net during a volley and
on a serve.
• A ball hitting a boundary line is "in"

The four major events on the international

volleyball calendar are the Olympic Games (men
and women, indoors and beach) World
Championships (men and women, indoors), World
Cup (men and women, indoors) and World
League (men, indoors)/World Grand Prix (women,
indoors).

The sport is now popular in Brazil, in Europe (where especially

Italy, the Netherlands, and countries from Eastern Europe have
been major forces since the late 1980s), in Russia, and in
other countries including China and the rest of Asia, as well as
in the United States.
I started playing volleyball with my neighbors and it
is a sport that I find clean and I like that it is as a
team and that it is played in any space, we only
need a ball and the desire to play.
