Morgan, an instructor at the Young Men\u2019s Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Mass., decided to blend elements of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball to create a game for his classes of businessmen which would demand less physical contact than basketball. He created the game of volleyball (at that time called mintonette). Morgan borrowed the net from tennis, and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the floor, just above the average man\u2019s head.During a demonstration game, someone remarked to Morgan that the players seemed to be volleying the ball back and forth over the net, and perhaps \u201cvolleyball\u201dwould be a more descriptive name for the sport. On July 7, 1896 at Springfield College the first game of \u201cvolleyball\u201d was played.In 1895, game was invented in the USA by William G. Morgan.In 1897, the first Volleyball Rules were published by Morgan.<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-55453 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Untitled-2-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"2529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Untitled-2-13.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Untitled-2-13-119x300.jpg 119w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Untitled-2-13-768x1942.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Untitled-2-13-405x1024.jpg 405w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Untitled-2-13-600x1517.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7ae49f2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7ae49f2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6ee9542\" data-id=\"6ee9542\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-266efa6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"266efa6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/AVC-Logo-n-qsspmttmytqszl8besv9qd5jbcpb8237abgm9go6s8.png\" title=\"AVC-Logo-n\" alt=\"AVC-Logo-n\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bda511f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"bda511f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1198","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
