Volleyball is an energetic sport played on courts or sand, emphasizing communication, quick movement, and team coordination. A young athlete wearing sports apparel holds a volleyball, representing the fundamentals of serving, bumping, and setting.

How Volleyball Was Created

William G. Morgan invented volleyball in 1895 as a less physical alternative to basketball, combining elements of tennis and handball. The original sport was called Mintonette before observers noted that players were volleying the ball back and forth over the net. Traditional volleyballs consist of eighteen synthetic leather panels arranged in three-panel sections for stable flight in the air.
