Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan in Holyoke, Massachusetts. He created it as a less strenuous alternative to basketball for older gentlemen. Morgan borrowed elements from tennis and baseball to develop the game, which involved volleying a basketball bladder over a tennis net. The objective is for teams of six players to score points by landing the ball on the opponent's side of the court. Standard volleyball equipment includes the playing court, net and posts, and the ball.

7. Volleyball (more info)
Volleyball is a game where two teams volley a
ball non-stop in the air and over the net.
Volleyball can be played indoors or outdoors
if you want. It consists of two opposing
teams, each team consisting of six players on
a court. The objective, or to score a point is to
make the ball land on the opponent’s court.

8. Extra Info on Volleyball
The game has rules that should be
followed so the game progresses and you
can win. Each team can have three
touches to rally the ball over to the
opponent’s court, and the scoring point
used is the rally point system. To win a
game, a team must reach 25 points with a
minimum of two points ahead in 3 out of
5 sets. If the teams are tied by 24,
whoever reaches a two-point lead wins.
