1. Brief history of volleyball


 Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, physical
director of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA)
in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was designed as an indoor sport
for businessmen who found the new game of basketball too
vigorous. Morgan called the sport “mintonette,” until a
professor from Springfield College in Massachusetts noted the
volleying nature of play and proposed the name of “volleyball.”
The original rules were written by Morgan and printed in the
first edition of the Official Handbook of the Athletic League of
the Young Men’s Christian Associations of North America (1897).
The game soon proved to have wide appeal for both sexes in
schools, playgrounds, the armed forces, and other organizations
in the United States, and it was subsequently introduced to
other countries.

2. Objectives in playing volleyball


 The goal of volleyball is to try to ground the ball on the other
team's side of the court while preventing them from grounding
the ball on your side. Each team uses a variety of skills and
moves to achieve this goal, reach 15 points and win.
