    William George Morgan invented volleyball in 1895 in Holyoke, Massachusetts while working as the athletic director at the YMCA University in Springfield. Morgan created the game as a less strenuous indoor alternative to basketball for the winter months. Volleyball then spread internationally to Cuba in 1905, Japan in 1908, and the Philippines in 1910. Morgan was born in 1870 in Lockport, New York and married Mary King Caldwell in 1893 in West Northfield, Massachusetts. He worked successfully as an athletic director before retiring to Lockport.
