VOLLEYBALL
Volleyball was created in 1895 by William G. Morgan, a
physical education instructor in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
He wanted to create a less strenuous alternative to
basketball that could be played by older individuals.
Initially called “Mintonette,” the game was played
indoors with a net and borrowed elements from
basketball, tennis, handball, and baseball.
In the early years, the rules of volleyball were fluid and
evolved as different variations were played in various
YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) centers. In
1896, the first official volleyball game was played at
Springfield College, formerly the International YMCA
Training School.
Volleyball made its Olympic debut at the Summer
Games in Tokyo in 1964. Initially, only indoor volleyball
was included, but beach volleyball was added as an
Olympic event in Atlanta 1996.
