History

William G. Morgan, Director of Physical Education at the Massachusetts YMCA, invented the sport of volleyball in 1895. He combined elements from many different ball sports to create a less physically intense sport for older businessmen in his classes. Nearly seventy years later, in 1964, volleyball was introduced to the Olympic Games, and its popularity has continued to grow internationally.

Object of the Game

To score points by hitting the ball over the net into the opponent's court in such a manner that the opponent is unable to return the ball.
