The history of volleyball began in the USA in the late 19th Massachusetts, and was invented by William Morgan, a native of new York. At this time he was a physical education teacher at one of the colleges in Holyoke. The creation of this sport, oddly enough, was inspired by the history of basketball, despite what is common in these kinds of sports not so much. In prehistory it is possible to note that basketball was invented by James Nesmith, and Morgan first met while studying in College. Morgan was very creative, talantlivaia volleyball and organizational identity. Basketball was very popular among young people, although it was not under force due to high speeds, pace, skills, especially not just to play for more age groups. Tennis needed additional equipment in the form of balls, rackets, etc. During one of the lessons he picked up the net for tennis is almost two meters tall, and the students threw the camera from a basketball through it. The number taking part in the game was not limited. When first attempting the game tried to play basketball, but he was too heavy. Playing with the camera from a basketball understand that he is too easy. Therefore, it was ordered at the factory, “Spalding” special leather volleyball with rubber bladder inside. Originally the sport was called "Mentone", and the few was later renamed "volleyball" (flying the ball), at the suggestion of Dr. Alfred Halstead.In public, this sport debuted in 1896, when it was shown to the leadership of the College. A year later, he formed the first short rules in the history of volleyball and the size of the ball. The main points were that the number of players participating and the number of touches was not limited, and a point is awarded only when serving.
