In 1895, William G. Morgan invented a new game called "Mintonette". However, Alfred Halstead noticed
the volleying action used to get the ball over the net, so he decided to change the name to "volleyball".
Morgan wanted to create a skilled activity, which required more players, less space, and less exertion
than basketball. The first net was a “rope” and the first ball was a basketball air bladder. Until 1960, men
and women played with different rules. Now the rules are the same except for the height of the net, the
men’s net is higher. A player cannot hit the ball twice. A points gained when a team plays the ball in the
opposition's court and the ball is not defended, therefore it lands within the court. The ball must be
served (hit) from outside the court, otherwise it will be regarded as a foul. A player usually wears knee
pads to protect their knees from becoming bruised during dives for the volleyball. In order to win the
game, the winners must be ahead by 2 points or the game goes on until you win by 2 points. Some
specific techniques are more common in digging than in passing. A player may sometimes perform a
"dive". When the player also slides his or her hand under a ball that is almost touching the court, this is
called a "pancake". The pancake is frequently used in indoor volleyball. Besides being one of the best-
known sports in the world, and being a favorite to millions of people, it is in the Olympics.
