 In 1895 it was William C. Morgan, director of Young Men's Christian Association
(YMCA) who developed the game in Holyyoke, Massachusetts for businessmen.
 a game with a blend element of basketball, baseball, and tennis. where in it only
requires less physical contact than other ball game.
 During a demonstration game, a professor from Springfield College remarked to
Morgan that the players seemed to be volleying the ball back and forth over the
net and proposed the name of "volleyball"
 The first volleyball net, borrowed from tennis, was only 6’6″
high (though you need to remember that the average
American was shorter in the nineteenth century).
 The offensive style of setting and spiking was first
demonstrated in the Philippines in 1916.
 Over the years that followed, it became clear that standard
rules were needed for tournament play, and thus the USVBA
(United States Volleyball Association) was formed in 1928.
