Volleyball History:
Volleyball has been around for many years. In 1995 volleyball was 100 years old! It was started in the United States and today there are more than 46 million Americans that play the sport of volleyball.800 million people world wide play volleyball at least once a week. In 1895, William G. Morgan decided to combine basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball. He did this to have a game that his classes of business men could play with less physical activity then basketball. Morgan noticed that while they were playing they were volleying the ball back and forth over the net. He decided that a better name to describe it would be "volleyball." July 7, 1896 was the first volleyball game ever played and it happened at Springfield College.

The year of 1900 they made a specific ball for this sport. Also in the year of 1900 it was spread to some other parts of the world, such as Canada and the Southern Hemisphere. 1907 was the year that it really got out and was one of the most popular sports in the United States. In 1916 they started to practice the more in detail stuff such as bump, set, spike. In 1917 they changed the scoring from 21 to 15in. In 1920 the 3 rule and back row attacking rule came into play.In 1928 they decided that they that for games to go on they needed more rules.
