VOLLEYBALL

1. What is the history of volleyball?

- William G. Morgan, the physical director of the Young Men's Christian Organization
(YMCA) in Holyoke, Massachusetts, created volleyball in 1895. For businesses who felt the new
game of basketball to be too physically demanding, it was created as an indoor activity. The
original rules were written by Morgan and published in the first edition of the Official Handbook
of the Athletic League of the Young Men's Christian Associations of North America. Morgan
called the sport "mintonette," until a professor from Springfield College in Massachusetts noted
the volleying nature of play and proposed the name "volleyball" (1897). The game was then
promoted to other nations after quickly demonstrating that it had broad appeal for both sexes in
American schools, playgrounds, the armed services, and other groups.
During World War I, when national organizations were founded, volleyball was first
played in Europe. Founded in Paris in 1947, the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB)
relocated to Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1984. The USVBA was one of the FIVB's 13 founding
members, and by the late 20th century, there were over 210 member nations in total.

2. What are the basic skills in volleyball?

- A coach may effectively teach and instruct each athlete by having a thorough understanding
of volleyball's essential skills, typical mistakes, and suggested fixes. Serving, passing (forearm
underhand passing), setting (overhead passing), attack choices (hitting/spiking), blocking (from
attack and defend positions), and defensive abilities are all highlighted (rolling & sliding).
