Indoor Volleyball - 1964Beach Volleyball - 1992 as a demonstration sport, 1996 as a medal sport.The game of Volleyball was invented in the year 1895 by a YMCA (Young Men Christian Association) physical education director called William G Morgan. The exact date is said to be the 9th of February that year. The game was created in the city of Holyoke, Massachusetts. What is noteworthy is that just four years ago another instructor of the YMCA founded the game of basketball in Springfield, Massachusetts; not far from here. The game was later called volleyball after an observer at an exhibition match remarked on the peculiar volley nature of this game. It was in 1896 and the observer was one Alfred Halstead. It had become a game that was supposed to be less violent and rough than basketball. It was adopted by Canada, the first other country after the United States, by the 1900s. Later in 1924 it became part of the Olympics
William G. Morgan was the man who invented volleyball. If that is all you want to know about volleyball, exit out. If you want to learn more, keep reading. Morgan used four different sports-basketball, baseball, handball and tennis to invent volleyball. He invented the game because he believed basketball was too rough for businessmen. There are two different kinds of volleyball-indoor volleyball and beach volleyball. Indoor volleyball was first introduced to the Olympics in the 1890s. Beach volleyball was introduced in the Olympics about four years later. An ace is when team one hits the ball and the other team fails to retrieve it. A server is at the back left corner. They hold the ball with their non-dominant hand and then hit it with their dominant hand. Make sure your dominant hand is in a fist, and try to always hit the ball with the heel of the hand.
