Each team must hit a ball by hand over the net and score points by grounding the ball on the other teams court under a set of rules. Volleyball was created in 1895 by William G. Morgan an American man, who was a YMCA Physical Education director in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Morgan had designed the game to be a combination of basketball, tennis, baseball, and handball. To create the game, Morgan had borrowed the net from tennis, and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the floor, just above the average mans head. Then in 1896, the first volleyball game was played at a meeting that was held at the YMCA College in Springfield which all the YMCA Directors of Physical Education had attended. Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick, director of the professional physical education training school, invited Morgan to show them his new game. To demonstrate his game, Morgan gathered two teams each consisted of five men to the College and showed the directors how the game would be played. In 1900, Morgan asked the firm of A.G. Spalding & Bros. to make a ball specifically for the sport. The game was formerly known as ‘mintonette’ until 1952 when Alfred Halstead had suggested to Morgan that a better name for the sport would be volleyball since the aim of the game was to volley the ball back and forth over a net.
