The history of volleyball, originally called “mintonette,” was invented in 1895 by
William G. Morgan after the invention of basketball only four years before. Morgan, a
graduate of the Springfield College of the YMCA, designed the game to be a
combination of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball. The first volleyball net,
borrowed from tennis, was only 6’6″ high. As of 2016, the sport is over 120 years old.
According to the history of volleyball, in 1895, William G. Morgan, an instructor at the
Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Mass., decided to blend
elements of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball to create a game for his
classes of businessmen which would demand less physical contact than basketball.
On July 7, 1896 at Springfield College the first game of "volleyball" was played.
In 1900 of the history of volleyball, a special ball was designed for the sport. In 1934,
national volleyball games referees were approved and recognized. In 1948, the first
two-man beach tournament was held. In 1996, two-person beach volleyball games
