The volleyball fell off the raft and floated away out to sea, but Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) tried to get it back by swimming over to it. Then the volleyball floated too far away from the raft and Chuck would have drowned. So he had to forget about it and swim back to the raft. He gets another volleyball at the end as one is seen in his car while he is driving when making a delivery on his first day back to work.

Why does Chuck Noland name the volleyball in the movie 'Cast Away'?
In the movie "Castaway"- Chuck Noland names the volleyball Wilson because he is loney. He does not have anyone to laugh with or talk to. So calling it a human name keeps him from feeling lonley. When he loses Wilson- he is heart broken. To keep his mind in touch with everything (like what he holds dear to him)- mainly his human sanity- he names the ball and treats the ball as a person. He talks to the ball, shares his day with the ball- but to him, it is a person. That is his last grasp on his sanity. Basically he is trying to stop himself from going mad and when he loses the volleyball- he realises that he has possibly lost the only link back to his human side.
