WILLIAM G. MORGAN
A physical education director in the
YMCA in Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA.

10. HISTORY
Volleyball was created in 1895 by William G. Morgan, an
instructor at the YMCA in Holyhoke, Massachusetts. He
decided to blend elements of basketball, baseball, tennis
and handball to create what he called “mintonette”. As
observers watched the game, they noticed that players
were “volleying” the ball back and forth. Thus, its name was
changed to volleyball. The first game was played at
Springfield College in 1896.
• In 1928 it became apparent that official rules were
needed, and the USVBA (United States Volleyball
Association) was formed.

35. BASIC PRINCIPLES /
RULES OF THE GAME

36. “Knowing and understanding
the basic tenets of volleyball
can be helpful for volleyball
newbies and veterans alike.”

37. BASIC PRINCIPLES
1) Don’t let the ball hit the floor on your side of the net
The primary objective in volleyball is make the ball
hit the floor on the opponent’s side of the court, while
simultaneously preventing it from dropping on your side.
2) Three contacts/hits per side
Each team is allowed a maximum of three contacts
before it must send the ball back over the net.

38. BASIC PRINCIPLES
3) Players must rotate
clockwise
In volleyball, six players
rotate clockwise through six
different positions on their
side of the net. There are
three front row positions
(left front, middle front,
and right front) and three
back row positions (left
back, middle back, and
right back). Teams rotate
with each new server.

39. Basic Skills

40. • The serve initiates play. While
there are several different serving
techniques—
a. underhand serve
b. float serve
c. jump serve
d. top spin serve
1 Serving

41. • The pass is a method of receiving
an opponent’s serve and/or
overhand attack.
• Two popular forms of this skill:
1. the forearm pass
2. the overhand pass
2 Passing

42. •When setting the ball, the goal is
to position the ball in the air so
that a teammate is able to easily
complete an overhand attack/hit.
3 Setting

43. • A block is an attempt to halt an
opponent’s attack by jumping with
the hands overhead to create a
barrier at the net. The most
common blocking violation is
touching the net.
4 Blocking

44. • The attack usually takes place on a
team’s third and final contact. Because
an attacker’s goal is to down the ball
on the other team’s side of the court,
players often jump when striking the
ball to increase the difficulty of
receiving the hit.
