Introduction

Volleyball is a popular sport, which is played both indoors and outdoors. It appeals to people of all ages and skill levels. It is fast paced, with constant jumping and running, and thus provides a strenuous aerobic workout. It also requires mental alertness and quick, precise physical reactions.

History of Volleyball

Volleyball originated in Massachusetts in 1895 when the director of a local YMCA used the bladder of a basketball for a ball and a tennis net as the first volleyball net. The game was regulated by the YMCA until 1928 when the United States Volleyball Association was founded

How Volleyball is played

The name "volleyball" is not an entirely accurate description of this sport. The object of the game is to hit the ball over the net in such a way that the opposing team cannot return it.

Volleyball is played on a court 30 ft. wide by 60 ft. long. The net is 3 ft. high and spans the width of the playing area. The top of the net is positioned 8 ft. (men's) from the floor or playing surface. The modern volleyball is about the size of a soccer ball.

The game is played by two opposing teams, with six players on each team. Once the ball is put into play, it is "volleyed" back and forth between the teammates up to three times before it is hit over the net or until it falls on the floor, is hit out of bounds or a team commits a foul. The same
