In 2016, the sport of Volleyball is over 120 years old!

The sport originated in the United States, and is now just achieving the type of popularity in the
U.S. that it has received on a global basis, where it ranks behind only soccer among participation
sports.

Today there are more than 46 million Americans who play volleyball. There are 800 million players
worldwide who play volleyball at least once a week.

In 1895, William G. Morgan, an instructor at the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in
Holyoke, Mass., decided to blend elements of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball to create a
game for his classes of businessmen which would demand less physical contact than basketball. He
created the game of Volleyball (at that time called, Mintonette). Morgan borrowed the net from
tennis, and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the floor, just above the average man’s head.
During a demonstration game, someone remarked to Morgan that the players seemed to be
volleying the ball back and forth over the net, and perhaps “volleyball” would be a more
descriptive name for the sport. On July 7, 1896 at Springfield College the first game of “volleyball”
was played.
