Historical Development of
Volleyball in the World and
the Philippines
Reporter: Group 7
Game played by two teams, usually of six players on a
side, in which the players use their hands to bat a ball
back and forth over a high net, trying to make the ball
touch the court within the opponents’ playing area
before it can be returned. To prevent this a player on
the opposing team bats the ball up and toward a
teammate before it touches the court surface—that
teammate may then volley it back across the net or bat
it to a third teammate who volleys it across the net. A
team is allowed only three touches of the ball before it
must be returned over the net.
History of Volleyball
Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan,
physical director of the Young Men’s Christian
Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was
designed as an indoor sport for businessmen who
found the new game of basketball too vigorous.
The game soon proved to have wide appeal for both
sexes in schools, playgrounds, the armed forces, and
other organizations in the United States, and it was
subsequently introduced to other countries.

History of Volleyball
First Game of Volleyball
July 7, 1896

first game of Volleyball was played.
Morgan called the sport “mintonette,”
until a professor from Springfield
College in Massachusetts noted the
volleying nature of play and
proposed the name of “volleyball.
Volleyball
1990- In September 28 The ball for volleyball
was designed and made. This allowed for the
game to actually begin with its own ball.
1907- Volleyball was presented as one of the
most popular sports. This was a big step for
recongnition of volleyball and made it more
widely known. Volleyball was presented at the
Playground of America Convention as one of
the most popular sports.
The First Nationwide Tournament
The first nationwide tournament in the United States was
conducted by the National YMCA Physical Education
Committee in New York City in 1922. The United States
Volleyball Association (USVBA) was formed in 1928 and
recognized as the rules-making, governing body in the
United States.
International volleyball competition began in 1913 with the
first Far East Games, in Manila. During the early 1900s and
continuing until after World War II, volleyball in Asia was
played on a larger court, with a lower net, and nine players
on a team.
World War I 1917, the game was changed from 21 to 15
points.
1919 American Expeditionary Forces distributed
16,000 volleyballs to it’s troops and allies. This
provided a stimulus for the growth of volleyball in
foreign lands.
1920, three hits per side and back row attack
rules were instituted
1928, it became clear that tournaments and rules
were needed, the United States Volleyball
Association (USVBA, now USA Volleyball) was
formed.
Beach Volleyball Beach volleyball—usually played, as
its name implies, on a sand court with
two players per team—was introduced
in California in 1930. The first official
beach volleyball tournament was held
in 1948 at Will Rogers State Beach, in
Santa Monica, California, and the first
FIVB-sanctioned world championship
was held in 1986 at Rio de Janeiro.
Beach volleyball was added to the
roster of the 1996 Olympic Games in
Atlanta, Georgia

and spike) were introduced

YMCA to aid in editing the rules and in
promoting the sport. Added to school &
college physical education & intramural
programs
Philippines Volleyball
The Filipinos have made significant
contributions to volleyball in its
evolution as a professional and
international game. The Filipinos
continued playing volleyball up to the
modern-day period in its status as an
independent republic. Volleyball in the
Philippines is a female-dominated
sports, with two commercial leagues
serving as the de-facto top-flight
leagues in the country
Philippines Contribution
The Filipinos contributed two items to modern-day volleyball
Inspiration for the three-hit limit
The first contribution was that the Filipinos inspired American
players to create the “three-hit limit” for each player in modern-day
volleyball.
Setting and spiking the ball
The second Filipino contribution was the “set and spike” maneuver,
also known as “set and hit”, “setting and spiking”, or just “spike”.
Volleyball Equipment
Volleyball Court Dimensions
The Volleyball court is 60 feet by 30
feet in total. The net in placed in the
center of the court, making each side
of the net 30 feet by 30 feet.
The Ball
The type of ball required in volleyball depends on the type and
level of volleyball you play. Beach volleyballs and indoor
volleyballs vary in size, weight and composition. Beach
volleyball is played with two players on a smaller sand court
with a larger, lighter ball, while indoor volleyball is played with
six players on a larger court, with a heavier, faster ball made of
leather.
Net & Poles
The net divides the volleyball court into two halves. The height
of the net varies based on the age of the players and the
surface being played on. An indoor net is 7 feet 11 5/8 inches in
height for men and 7 feet 4 1/8 inches for women. Beach
volleyball nets are hung at the same height. In addition to the
nets, and the poles from which they are hung, protective
padding is required to surround these structures to ensure
player safety in case of collision.
Shoes
Volleyball-specific shoes have a gum rubber sole. This type of sole
provides a lot more traction than a regular sport shoe or cross-
trainer. Volleyball shoes are also made to support a player’s lateral
movement. The front of the shoe has extra cushioning and padding
to help absorb some of the shock created by jumping and landing.
Beach volleyball players can get away with no shoes, playing
barefoot.
Protective Gear
Competitive indoor volleyball players are always diving for balls to
keep them in play. To protect their knees against floor burns, they
wear knee pads. There are two basic styles, the bubble style and
the flat style. The bubble style offers more padding in front of the
knee, directly on the kneecap; however, it is more bulky than the
flat style. The flat style may not have as much padding, but it does
allow for freer movement. There are several options in size and
sleeve length.
