Volleyball
• This is a game played by two teams of 6 or 9 players in each
team with the purpose of keeping the ball away from its own
court without committing an error or fault.
• The players place or spike the ball into the opponent’s court for
the purpose of making them drop the ball or commit faults or
errors.
History of Volleyball
• On February 9, 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts (USA), William G.
Morgan, a YMCA physical education director, created a new game
called Mintonette as a pastime to be played preferably indoors and less
strenuous than basketball. He divided a rectangular court into two equal
parts by piles of books lined at the center of the court that serve as the
net. Morgan called the game “mintonette’ because of the net which he
used to divide the court into two.
• The objective of the game is to keep the ball on air by using the hands to
hit the ball back and forth from one side of the court to another until one
group misses the chance of hitting the ball back to the opponent’s side.
History of Volleyball
• The interior of a basketball was the first ball used in
mintonette. But it seemed that the interior of a basketball
was too light for the game, while the basketball was too
heavy. A.G. Spalding created a ball suited for the new game.
• In 1932, Alfred Hastead, a professor of YMCA suggested to
change the name of the game from Mintonette into
Volleyball because of one skills used in playing is volley.

as kill or ‘atake’.

for mrn and women.
Fundamental Skills
The fundamentals or skills to be developed by a prospective
player are serving, receiving, tossing, spiking and blocking. The
taller the player is, the more advantage he has over others, and a
good jumper is a better asset than one who can’t jump well.
Blocking and spiking are most effective when the player goes much
higher than the net.
• Serving is the means to start the game or continue it after a point
has been made or a side – out has been declared.
• Underhand service - emphasizes the idea that the ball is
to be hit with the hand down below.
• Sidearm service – shows the server hitting the ball which
is on a shoulder level or just a little below.
• Overhand service – shows that the ball is to be batted
while it is level with the head or little above.

commit errors or faults. Good placement of the ball is also good, but
spiking is considered the most desirable in the light of international
competition.

blocking hands or cause the ball to go out of control after hitting
the blocking hands.
• Soft Spike – where the ball just rolls off the hands of the
blocker so that a fault is commited.

• Blocking – is the effort of a defensive team to stop a spike by
putting up the fingers and hands above the net and in front of the
ball so that the spike ball may be returned to the spiker’s court or
the ball may fall on the blocker’ s court with diminished or lesser
force so that the other players may be able to handle it.
