Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William Morgan in Massachusetts as a combination of elements from other sports. It has since grown tremendously in popularity worldwide. Key developments include the introduction of offensive techniques like spiking from the Philippines in the early 1900s, the establishment of international governing bodies in the 1940s, and the addition of volleyball to the Olympics beginning in 1964. Today volleyball is one of the most popular sports globally with over 50 million players in over 60 countries.
