History of Volleyball

Volleyball was invented by American William G. Morgan in 1895 at the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
The game was initially called “Mintonette” and was later renamed volleyball due to the nature of the game, which involves volleying the ball back and forth.
The first court consisted of a tennis net raised 6.5 feet from the floor, with a playing area divided into two equal parts by piles of books.
