The History of Volleyball William Morgan invented the game of Volleyball in 1895 at the YMCA in Holyoke, Mass. Volleyball was first called “Mintonette”. In 1964, Volleyball was introduced to the Olympic games in Tokyo. In 1984, the United States Men's and Women's teams won medals for the first time. Men’s won gold, Women won silver. Today there are 24 million Americans who play Volleyball. There are over 800 million people worldwide who play Volleyball at least once a week. The object of the game is for each team to send the ball over the net and get it to land on their opponents court.

Rules of the Game The ball is put into play by the right back-row player who serves the ball by hitting it over the net to the opponent's court. A team is allowed to hit the ball three times (in addition to the block contact) to return it to the opponent's court. A player is not allowed to hit the ball twice consecutively, except when attempting a block. The rally continues until the ball touches the ground/floor, goes "out" or a team fails to return it to the opponent's court or commits a fault. A player "lifts" or "carries" the ball (the ball remains in contact with the player's body for too long). It is called a “Carry”. A player touches the net with any part of his or her body or clothing while making a play on the ball (with the exception of the hair). It is called a “Net”. A back-row player spikes the ball while it is completely above the top of the net, unless he or she jumped from behind the attack line (the player is, however, allowed to land in front of the attack line). When serving, a player steps on the court or the end line before making contact with the ball. This is also called a foot fault. Service can be from any where along the end line If the ball hits the line, it is in.
