History and Development of Volleyball
FUNDAMENTALS OF TEAMSPORTS
History
William G. Morgan (1870-1942),
 who was born in the State of New York, has
gone down in history as the inventor of the
game of volleyball, to which he originally gave
the name "Mintonette".
 (February 9, 1895)
 After graduating, Morgan spent his first year at
the Auburn (Maine) YMCA after which, during
the summer of 1895, he moved to the YMCA at
Holyoke (Massachusetts) where he became
director of physical education.
 In this role he had the opportunity to establish,
develop and direct a vast program of exercises
and sport classes for male adults.
History
 Early in 1896 a conference was organized at
the YMCA College in Springfield, bringing
together all the YMCA Directors of Physical
Education.
 Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick, director of the
professional physical education training school
(and executive director of the department of
physical education of the International
Committee of YMCA's) invited Morgan to make
a demonstration of his game in the new college
stadium.
 Morgan took two teams, each made up of five
men (and some loyal fans) to Springfield,
where the demonstration was made before the
conference delegates in the east gymnasium.
 After seeing the demonstration, and hearing
the explanation of Morgan, Professor Alfred
T. Halstead called attention to the action, or
the act phase, of the ball's flight, and proposed
that the name "Mintonette" be replaced by
"Volley Ball." in 1896.
 This name was accepted by Morgan and the
conference.
FIVB (Federation Internationale de Volleyball)
 A decisive moment in the history of volleyball’s
first 100 years was certainly that of the
founding of the FIVB
 (Federation Internationale de Volleyball) when
in April 1947 representatives of 14 countries
(Belgium, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, Egypt,
France, Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Uruguay, USA and
Yugoslavia) met in Paris under the leadership
of France’s Paul Libaud to found the FIVB.
 Mr. Paul Libaud to founded the FIVB. Mr.
Libaud, President of the French Federation,
was elected first President of the FIVB.
 The headquarters were established in Paris,
where they remained for the first 37 years until
1984 when Mexico’s Dr. Rubén Acosta took
over the Presidency from Libaud.
History of Volleyball in the Philippines
 Philippine volleyball history began in 1910
when the Philippines was a United States
territory (1898–1946).
 The Filipinos have made significant
contributions to volleyball in its evolution as a
professional and international game.
 The Filipinos continued playing volleyball up to
the modern-day period in its status as an
independent republic (1946–present).
 It was introduced to the Filipinos by an
American named Elwood S. Brown, the then
Physical Director of the Young Men's Christian
Association (YMCA).
 It became a popular game held in backyards
and at beaches in the islands.
 At first, the Filipinos invented their own rules
for the game. US soldiers who were assigned
to the different islands of the Philippine during
the period also helped in the widespread
introduction of volleyball to the Filipinos.
 These American military servicemen
encouraged the Filipinos to join them in playing
during their time-off from military duties.

  Early in the history of the game of volleyball in
the Philippines, the Filipinos used trees as
makeshift net holders (the net was hung
between the two chosen trees).

Objectives of Volleyball
1. Volley the ball over the net
2. Pass the ball to a teammate
3. Serve the ball over the net
4. Assist at the net
5. Set up the ball
6. Know the fundamental rules of the game
Natures and Characteristics of Volleyball
 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.
 How it is played: You can score points in the
game of volleyball in one of two ways
 Putting the ball on the floor in-bounds on your
opponent’s side of the net.
 An error (forced or unforced) by your opponent
which renders them unable to return the ball
over the net and in-bounds on your side in their
allotted three contacts.
 The sport of volleyball is one of the most
malleable sports around because it is played in
many variations and on many different
surfaces.
TEAMS
 You can play volleyball in teams with anywhere
between two and six players.
 Indoor volleyball is usually played with six
players on each team.
 Beach volleyball is often played with two
players. Four-person volleyball is often in grass
tournaments and on the beach.
Variations
 You can play on hardwood, grass, sand, or
asphalt. You can use rally or side-out scoring.
 You can play one game or the best of three or
best of five sets. You can play to 15, 25, 30, or
whatever number of points you so desire.
Play
 Play begins with one team serving the ball to
the other. Each time the ball crosses over the
net, a team gets three contacts before they
must send the ball back to the opponent’s side.
Ideally, the three contacts will be a pass, set
and hit, but it can be three passes or any other
combination of contacts if they are legal
contacts.
 The rally (or volley) continues until the ball hits
ground or one of the rules is broken.
Facilities and Equipment
FUNDAMENTALS OF TEAMSPORTS
The Ball
 The standard volleyball is made of leather or
synthetic leather
 weighs between 9 and 10 ounces and
 has a circumference of 25.6 to 26.4 inches.
 The ball has a rubber bladder and can be one
color or a combination of colors.
 Synthetic leather is lighter and is fine for
beginner players.
 Junior volleyballs for children 12 years old and
 younger weigh between 7 and 8 ounces.
The Net and Court
 The outdoor volleyball court measures 18m x
9m,
 surrounded by a free zone that is 2 meters
wide on all sides
 . The minimum playing space for US volleyball
competitions is 7 meters.
 The volleyball net is 32 feet long and 3 feet
wide.
 For women, the net should be 7 feet, 4 1/8
inches.
 For men, the net should be 7 feet, 11 5/8
inches high.
 US regulation volleyball playing surfaces must
be flat and not present any hazards to the
players.
Lines
 The playing court is marked by two sidelines
and two end lines.
 All lines must be 2 inches wide and must be
created with a light color that is easy to discern
from the playing court.
 An attack line should be placed three meters
from the centerline.
 The centerline divides the court into two 9x9
meter courts.
Posts and Cables
 The volleyball net structure is held together
with metal cables and posts.
 Posts are placed 0.5 to 1.0 meters outside the
sidelines and 2.55 meters high.
 Posts should be round, smooth and padded, to
prevent injury to the players.
 Metal wires and cables may need to be
covered if it is determined that they present a
danger to the players.
 Knee pads should be sturdy enough to protect
your knees from falls, slides, and dives, but
flexible enough to allow you to bend
comfortably.
Shoes
 Arch and ankle support is key when choosing a
volleyball shoe.
 Mizuno, Asics, and Nike are just a few of the
popular brands of volleyball shoes, which are
lightweight, allowing you to be faster on your
feet.
Clothing and Jewelry
 All clothing should be lightweight to allow
maximum flexibility and breathability, Spandex
shorts are a good option, as they are flexible,
light and absorb odor.
 Socks absorb sweat and prevent blisters.
Glasses must be worn with a strap to keep
them secure.

Antenna and Side Bands

 Antennas are flexible rods that are 1.8 meters
long made of fiberglass, fastened at the outer
edge of each sideband.

 Sidebands are two white bands attached

vertically to the net and placed above each
sideline.

Rules and Violations in Volleyball
FUNDAMENTALS OF TEAMSPORTS
 Volleyball's most fertile ground was found in
the Philippines, where Elwood S. Brown of the
YMCA introduced it into the Public-School
System in 1910.
 By 1914, there were more than 5,000 courts in
public schools, playgrounds, and private clubs
in the Philippines, and it was here that the
"Filipino Bomb" or first version of the modern
spike was unleashed.
 Other innovations were adopted. After one
team set the ball back and forth among
themselves 52 times before hitting it over the
net, the local rules committee observing the
game demanded the first three-hit rule.
 It seems that a pressing dinner engagement of
one of the attendant officials was only one
motivation - a stronger one was that of the
opposing team which threatened to walk off the
court and go home.
 The rule was quickly adopted throughout the
Orient.
