History of Volleyball in the Philippines

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).

Philippines Contribution to the World of Volleyball

Three-Hit Limit
The Philippine style of volleyball inspired the Americans to create the three-hit limit, according to
information on the PVF website. Before the rule, Philippine volleyball teams would sometimes let
every player hit the ball before sending it over to the opposing side. This took too much time and
snuffed out the challenge and competitive nature of the game.

Set and Spike

With the new three-hit rule in place, Philippine players experimented with new volleyball techniques
and came up with the set and spike, a.k.a. the “Filipino Bomb.” In this offensive passing style, one
player hits the volleyball and sends it high in the air to set it up for another player on her team. A
second player then strikes the ball sending it over the net at a downward angle. This is called spiking
the ball.
