The person who founded Volleyball was William G. Morgan.

On the February 9 1895, a Phys Ed teacher (William G. Morgan) created a game called Mintonette. The game had things from Handball and Tennis. During that time Basketball was extremely popular because it was invented on the same day 4 years ago.

William G. Morgan then decided to write the rules down.

Then an observer came to the school and was fascinated by the volleying game at it's first Friendly match.

Since then the game has been called,

Volleyball

Volleyball was first created by William Morgan in 1895. It was first called "mintonette" and was latter re-named Volleyball because of the 'volleying' that occurred during the game.

William Morgan was studying in the field of Physical Education and created volleyball during his college studies at Spring field college in Massachusetts.

Morgan was working with the YMCA and created Volleyball to allow the older members to have a game to play that was less vigorous then basketball, but that still required athletic skill.
