Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan. It originated with rules borrowed from tennis but has since developed standardized rules and governing bodies like the USVBA. Key events in volleyball history include the introduction of offensive techniques like setting and spiking in the Philippines in 1916, the formation of international governing bodies in the mid-20th century, and the introduction of volleyball in the Olympics in 1964. Beach volleyball became a distinct format in the 1930s and was added as an Olympic sport in 1996.
