What is 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.
First played in year 1895, Holyoke,
Massachusetts, United States
Who Invented the Game
Volleyball?
William George Morgan (January 23,
1870 – December 27, 1942) was the
inventor of volleyball originally called
"Mintonette", a name derived from the
game of badminton which he later
agreed to change to better reflect the
nature of the sport.He was born in
Lockport,New York U.S. WILLIAM GEORGE MORGAN
The History of
Volleyball
For a sport that has been around for over a century, the origin of
volleyball traces its roots to a rather humble beginning.

History has it that William G. Morgan, who invented the game of

volleyball in 1895, came up with the idea so that people who found
basketball’s ‘bumping’ or ‘jolting’ too strenuous could have an
alternative physical activity to fall back on.

William G. Morgan, who served as the physical director at the Young

Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) Holyoke, Massachusetts, looked
at the sports around and picked the aspects that he thought suited his
brief the best.
The ball came from basketball, the net from tennis and the use of hands from handball.
While this made up a game of volleyball, it was lent some competitive tone with the
introduction of innings - later to be called sets - that was borrowed from baseball.

Morgan introduced the sport -- called mintonette, the original name of volleyball -- at
the YMCA Physical Director's Conference a year later at Springfield College,

Though it was incomplete with no fixed rules and a format to follow, the sport did
enough to win over the delegation and soon became a part of YMCA’s wide network
throughout the USA with a new name - volley ball (initially it was termed as two
words). Volleyball was officially selected to spell as a single word in 1952.

A sport that traced its origin to basketball, baseball, tennis and handball - and now
estimated to be played by over 800 million globally - had thus been established.
 Skills in Playing Volleyball
Passing
Passing, also known as forearm
passing or the bump, is the technique
used to receive the opponent's serve
or attack. It involves using your
forearms to control and direct the ball
to the setter. Accurate passing is
crucial for a successful offense.
Setting
The setter's role is to set up the ball
for an attacker to spike. Setting
requires good hand-eye
coordination, touch, and decision-
making skills. A setter must be able
to deliver accurate and consistent
sets to their hitters.
Spiking
A spike or hit is when a player jumps and hits
the ball over the net with a one handed
overhead swinging motion. The player
contacts the ball with an open hand in what
looks like a kind of a downward slap. The idea
is to spike the ball with a lot of power making
it difficult for the other team when they
receive the ball.
Blocking
Blocking is the defensive action of
intercepting the attacker's spike at the net. It
involves jumping to block the ball and forming
a barrier with the hands to redirect or stop
the attack. Effective blocking requires good
timing, anticipation, and the ability to read
the opponent's attacking patterns.

Digging
Digging is the skill used to retrieve and
control a spiked or hard-driven ball. It
involves diving or reaching to save the
ball from hitting the ground and keeping
it in play. Proper technique, quick
reactions, and body control are
essential for successful digging.
Serving
The serve starts each rally, and there
are different types of serves, including
the jump serve, float serve, and topspin
serve. A good serve can put pressure
on the opposing team and disrupt
their offense.
Teamwork and Cooperation
Volleyball is a team sport that relies
on effective teamwork and
cooperation. Players need to trust and
support each other, communicate well,
and work together to achieve
common goals
Communication
Communication is crucial in volleyball.
Players need to effectively
communicate with their teammates to
coordinate plays, call for the ball, and
maintain team unity. Clear and concise
verbal and non-verbal communication
can enhance team performance.
