Practical-3: Volleyball . Labelled diagram of field & equipment HISTORY ,Rules, Terminologies & Skills .

VOLLEY BALL HISTORY :Volleyball is a game of recent origin.It was invented by William Morgan of USA in
1895.In order to provide some recreation and exercise for men who could not play very strenuous games,
Morgan tried this type of game by providing a net at a certain height and using an inflated bladder of basket
ball.He divided a group into two teams and asked them to toss the bladder over the net.In this way,a new
game which was named ‘MINTONNETTE’came into existence.Later,it was named volleyball because the ball
was volleyed from one side to another.

YMCA and American soldiers helped in spreading this game.Canada was the first country outside USA which
introduced the volleyball in 1905.

Volleyball was played as a demonstration game in Paris Olympics in 1924.
