The Hitory of Volleyball
The History of Volleyball
William Morgan introduced the game of volleyball in 1895 while he was teaching at the Holyoke Y.M.C.A. in Massachusetts. He wanted to create a game for his classes of businessmen that would have less physical contact than basketball. He combined the elements of basketball, tennis, and handball to form the game he called "mintonette". He borrowed a tennis net and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the floor.
