The game of volleyball was "invented" in 1895 by William G. Morgan, at that time the physical
director of the Holyoke, Mass., Y.M.C.A. He had large classes of business men and felt that a
game was needed which would provide an opportunity for their recreation and relaxation. The new
game of basketball was very strenuous. He raised a tennis net to a height of six feet, over which
a basketball bladder was batted. This ball proved to be unsatisfactory as it was too light, and
the regular basketball with its leather cover was too heavy, so he wrote A. G. Spalding & Brothers
to make one for trial. It is interesting to note that the original specifications for this ball
have been in conformity with the modern development of the game.
In 1917, the first complete Volleyball Guide made its appearance, being published by the American
Sports Publishing Company of New York. The National Collegiate Athletic Association joined with
the Y.M.C.A. in the preparation of the rules. Intensive volleyball received its first impetus when
the Y.M.C.A. National Volleyball Championships were held in 1922 at the Brooklyn, New York, Central
Y.M.C.A. team. The championships have been a constant stimulus to coaches and players to
improve their game.
In 1927 the Amateur Athletic Federation requested that an open National Tournament and
Championship be held in which other than Y.M.C.A. teams might participate. Hence in 1928
volleyball came into national recognition with the formation of the United States Volleyball
Association.
The game has developed in remarkable style. It is played in many countries of the world. It is
gaining favor in schools, colleges, recreation centers and playgrounds; in fact, wherever you find
people interested in recreation and play, you will find volleyball one of their favorite games.
