    Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William Morgan as a less strenuous alternative to tennis. He created the game called Mintonette using a basketball, volleyball net, and eliminating rackets. The name later became volleyball as the ball would fly or volley over the net. While early volleyball games varied in rules like player numbers and net height, the sport grew beyond schools and became an Olympic event for both men and women, and both indoor and beach versions emerged over time with their own distinct rules.

    History of volleyball

    Have you ever wondered how sports were invented? Since the origin of the man,
    people has tried to invent diverse ways to have fun and to do physic activities, and
    in all the games invented theres is a ball involved. There are historians who talk
    about the evidence of a similar game of volleyball in Rome of 200 b.C.

    William Morgan, a professor of Physical Education who with his leadership


    managed to implement various physical activities for his students, was based on
    how to play tennis, but eliminating rackets and small balls, only keeping the net to
    a greater height and with a ball of basketball invented the game called Mintonette.
    We only need a lighter ball to create the most fun game ever he used to say. The
    name of Volleyball born when he saw that the ball went from one side to another,
    like flying the ball.

    Some differences between the first games of volleyball are among the most
    important: the number of players on the count, the height of the net and the
    number of strokes allowed before the ball passes. Other rules were added to the
    regulation over time as the points with which it was considered a game won, the
    prevent touching the ball with the feet and that the ball touched the net.

    Over time, volleyball went from being a school game to a competition in the
    Olympic Games, where not only men were allowed to play, also women. And not
    only room volleyball, also the beach volleyball which also has its own rules.

    Can you imagine the invention of a new sport in the future?
