THE GAME OF VOLLEYBALL Volleyball is the second most popular sport in the world today‚ exceeded only by soccer. It was invented by William G. Morgan in 1895 at a YMCA in Holyoke for middle aged men who needed something less strenuous than basketball.

Volleyball and the Body When I was in middle school‚ I had decided to play volleyball for some good exercise.

Court Volleyball vs. Beach Volleyball Although volleyball may seem like the same sport whether it’s played on an indoor volleyball court or an outdoor sand volleyball court‚ there is actually a big difference between the two. Some people prefer sand volleyball over court volleyball‚ but I prefer court volleyball. Both courts are the same size (18m x 9m (29’6" x 59’)).

I didn’t get a lot of playtime‚ but on the bench I could see the
