Volleyball is a popular sport played by millions of people worldwide.

It is a game that can be

paced game that requires teamwork, quick reflexes, and a good deal of skill.

The game of volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan. Morgan was a physical
education teacher who wanted to create a new game that could be played indoors during the
winter months. He combined elements of basketball, tennis, and handball to create a unique
game that would become known as volleyball.

The object of the game is to hit the ball over the net and onto the opponent's side of the
court. Each team is allowed three touches of the ball before it must be sent back over the
net. Points are scored when the ball hits the ground on the opponent's side of the court or
when the opponent is unable to return the ball over the net.
