William Morgan invented volleyball in 1895 at the Holyoke, Massachusetts, YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) where he served as Director of Physical Education. Morgan originally called his new game of Volleyball, Mintonette. The name Volleyball came about after a demonstration game of the sport, when a spectator commented that the game involved much "volleying" and game was renamed Volleyball.\nWilliam Morgan was born in the state of New York and studied at Springfield College, Massachusetts. Ironically at Springfield, Morgan met James Naismith who invented basketball in 1891. Morgan was motivated by Naismith's game of basketball designed for younger students to invent a game suitable for the older members of the YMCA. William Morgan's basis for the new game of Volleyball was the then popular and similar German game of Faustball and a few other sports including: tennis (the net), basketball, baseball and handball.

Volleyball, popular team sport played by hitting an inflated ball back and forth over a high net. In the indoor game, each team has six players, while in beach volleyball, played outdoors on sand, teams consist of two players each. Points are scored by successfully landing the ball in the court of the opponents without it being returned successfully. The game was invented in 1895 as a recreational pastime by American William G. Morgan, the physical education director of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) chapter in Holyoke, Massachusetts. His game, which he originally called Mintonette, quickly became popular, not only in the United States but also around the world. There are more than 200 national federations in the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB; French for “International Volleyball Federation”), the international governing body for the sport, which is located in Lausanne, Switzerland. An estimated 800 million people play volleyball throughout the world.

An idea would be, "Which gas could you fill a volleyball up with that would make it go better?" They you can have regular air, carbon dioxide, and helium. Then you make a hypothesis based on what you know, try one of them, and see if you were wrong.

Volleyball is great! I'm 12 and I love volleyball! It shows you discipline, sportsmanship, teamwork, and a bunch of other things you would probably need later in life.

The best way to learn the sport is to play it.  Check to see if your local YMCA, Boys and Girls Club or Parks and Rec have a league.  Make sure you are in an appropriate competitive level.  At the YMCA where I coach, there is a Rec League for players just getting started and two levels of competitive leagues for the more advanced players.\n\nThey are more expensive, but if you are afraid of the ball invest in a nice leather ball.  The Tachikara SV-5WS is a nice ball to start with if you are older than 12 and the Tachikara Volleylight is a nice ball if you are 12 or younger.\n\nThe thing I love most about volleyball is that hard work and attitude is more important that natural ability.  Give it a shot and approach it with an attitude of having fun.

First off, if you are joining at the entry level, they will teach you all the basic rules and skills that you need.  But to be a bit more specific, volleyball is a team game which can be played with 2 to 6 members on the court.  A ball is served from behind the service line (the back line of the rectangle on the floor) and the other team receives the ball.  They have three hits to get the ball back to the other side, where that team will have three hits to get the ball back over.   The goal is to hit the ball to the other side, inside the boundaries, and have it hit the floor. This is how you score a point.  \n\nThere are many techniques and hits that you will learn.  It's a lot of fun and good exercise!  Have fun and enjoy!

It began in 1892, invented by a canadian named James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts.  He created it at a YMCA because he was a PE teacher, and the exercise directors wanted him to create an indoor wintertime sport so the men would keep in shape, since there were no winter time activities to balance out football and baseball in the spring and summer.  They used peach baskets taped to balconies
