THE HISTORY & DEVELOPMENT OF
VOLLEYBALL
▪ William G. Morgan invented volleyball in
1895, initially calling the sport
"Mintonette." Within a few years it have
become a popular activity at YMCAs.
Within a few decades volleyball had spread
internationally and become a college sport
in the United States.
▪ Over time, the rules were refined to limit
teams to six aside on the court and hits to
three per possession. Volleyball became an
Olympic sport in 1964 and beach volleyball
became an Olympic sport in 1996.
INVENTION OF THE SPORT
▪ Morgan developed volleyball in 1895, four years
after a mentor, James Naismith, invented
basketball. As director of physical education at
the Holyoke (Massachusetts) YMCA, Morgan
sought a sport less vigorous than basketball.
▪ "In search of an appropriate game, tennis
occurred to me, but this required rackets, balls,
a net and other equipment, so it was
eliminated, but the idea of a net seemed a good
one," Morgan explained.
▪ He raised the net higher than the height of the
average person and experimented with various
balls.
▪ Morgan asked A.G. Spalding & Bros. to develop
a ball that could be batted back and forth.
Morgan then began promoting his game.
COMPETITION BEGINS
▪ Morgan showcased his new sport to
YMCA directors in 1896. At the
suggestion of Professor Alfred T.
Halstead, its name was changed to
"volley ball" to match the action of the
sport.
▪ It was played on a smaller court (25
feet by 50 feet) with an unlimited
number of players hitting the ball an
unlimited number of times.
▪ The sport's rules were published in the
July 1896 edition of "Physical
Education" and were included the first
official handbook of the North
American YMCA Athletic League in
1897.
EVOLUTION OF THE SPORT
▪ Volleyball spread to Canada and then
around the world. A version of the sport
featuring 16 players aside was played at
the first Far-Eastern Games in 1913.
▪ In 1918 the number of players on the
court was limited to six per team. Another
major rule change came in 1922 when the
maximum number of hits per side was set
at three.
VOLLEYBALL GETS BIG
▪ The sport became a serious international
competition in 1947 with the formation in
Paris of the Federation Internationale De
Volley-Ball.
▪ The first World Championship was held
two years later. With more than 50 million
people now playing the sport in more than
60 countries by 1951, volleyball became
part of the Pan-American Games in 1955
and the Olympics in 1964.
▪ By the late 1960s, the National Association
of Intercollegiate Athletics and National
Collegiate Athletic Association had
embraced the sport.
BEACH VOLLEYBALL
▪ The outdoor version of volleyball -- a
two-on-two competition played on sand
-- was born as a tournament sport in
1948.
▪ It grew in popularity after its introduction
at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
▪ It has been a vibrant professional sports
for decades and has become one of the
fastest-growing sports at the collegiate
level.
