 History of Volleyball
Volleyball, invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan in Massachusetts as "Mintonette,"
was created as a less strenuous alternative to basketball. It gained popularity quickly,
with official rules established in 1896. The Volleyball Federation was formed in 1947
to standardize the sport and organize competitions. Volleyball debuted in the
Olympics in 1964, followed by beach volleyball in 1996. Today, millions play both
indoor and beach variations worldwide.
 Early development

played at a YMCA gymnasium in Holyoke.
• Name Change: The name "volleyball" was
suggested in 1896 by Alfred Halstead after
observing the ball being volleyed back and
forth.
• Rules: Initially, the game borrowed elements
from tennis, handball, and basketball. The first
net was 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 meters) high.
• Ball Design: The first volleyballs were made by
the A.G. Spalding company in 1900.
