 The Game
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.
William G. Morgan- YMCA PE Director

William George Morgan (January 23, 1870 –

December 27, 1942) was the inventor of volleyball,
originally called "Mintonette",

He met James Naismith, inventor of basketball, while

Morgan was studying at Springfield College in 1892.
Like Naismith, Morgan pursued a career in
Physical Education at the YMCA. Influenced by
Naismith and basketball, in 1895, in
Holyoke, Massachusetts, Morgan invented
"Mintonette" a less vigorous team sport more suitable
for older members of the YMCA but one that still
required athletic skill. Later Alfred S. Halstead watched
it being played and renamed it "Volleyball", because
the point of the game is to volley the ball back and
forth over the net.
February 09, 1895 @ Holyoke Massachusetts USA Volleyball was invented.

- Mintonette was the first name of Volleyball and was based from Handball and
Tennis.
Alfred Halstead: changed the name
from Mintonette to Volley ball” in 1896
@ Springfield YMCA.

The name change from Mintonette to

Volleyball came about in 1896 when
someone commented “the players
seemed to be volleying the ball back
and forth over the net” and perhaps
“volleyball” would be a more
descriptive name for the sport.

History of Volleyball in the Philippines
The history of volleyball in the
Philippines refers to as a recreation and
as a sport. 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).
 INTRODUCTION
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.
Filipino Contributions
The Filipinos contributed two items to modern-day
volleyball:

Inspiration for the three-hit limit

The first contribution was that the Filipinos inspired
American players to create the "three-hit limit" for each
player in modern-day volleyball. This number of limits
in hitting the ball was based by American volleyball
players from the Filipino way of letting each player hit
the ball before sending or "volleying" it over to the side
of the opponent’s team. The Americans revised this
method to become the "three-hit limit" because the old
way of taking turns in hitting the ball took too much
time, and had been observed to affect the intensity of
the game and the motivation of the participating
volleyballers (lessens the "challenge and the
competitive nature" of the game).
 Setting and Spiking the ball
The second Filipino contribution was the
"set and spike" maneuver, also known as
"set and hit","setting and spiking",or just
"spike".A spike is a form of volleyball
"attack" done by the player by jumping,
raising one arm above the head and
hitting the ball so it will move quickly
down to the ground on the opponent's
court. The set, on the other hand, is an
over-hand pass done by the setter
(another player) using the wrists to push
finger-tips at the ball.
It was after accepting the new set of rules
created by the Americans regarding the
"three-hit limit" when the Filipino volleyball
players at the time invented the "set and
spike" maneuver. The new technique
invented by the Filipinos prompted
American enthusiasts and participants in
volleyball to call it as the "Filipino bomb",
because "spiking the ball" was like a "hit" or
a form of "attack" that can squash or "kill"
the opportunity of the opponent team to hit
the ball back for a possible point or win. A
more apt description of "hitting and spiking"
is that it is "an offensive style of passing the
ball in a high trajectory to be struck by
another player.
 Associations
