Volleyball

In 1895, the education director of the Holyoke, Massachusetts YMCA, a man named William G. Morgan, invented the game we know today as volleyball. At that time, basketball, which was just invented 4 years earlier by a colleague of Morgan, was rising in popularity. Morgan noticed that certain middle aged business men who frequented the YMCA could not keep up with the fast pace of basketball. He decided to invent a new game that combined basktball, baseball, tennis, and handball and that would allow the business men to participate. Because his new game closely resembled badminton, Morgan called in "Mintonette." After an exhibition, a fan described the game as a series of "volleys" and eventually the description stuck and mintonette was changed to volleyball.

In 1916, the offensive bump, set, spike pattern was first demonstrated in the Philippines. By the mid 1900s, volleyball had matured and now governing bodies such as the United Stated Volleyball Association were holding tournaments across the United States. In 1964, volleyball made its Olympic debut in Tokyo. There are currently over 800 million volleyball players worlwide and the sport is now second only to soccer in number of people who participate in it.
