What is volleyball?

Volleyball originated in America. 1895 Williams Guy Morgan, a sports worker in Massachusetts, USA, thinks that basketball is too intense and tennis is too small. He wanted to find an indoor entertainment with moderate exercise and strong interest, and men, women and children could participate in it, so he invented the volleyball game. He made some improvements in tennis and basketball: first, he changed the rule that tennis allows the ball to land first and then hit back to not land; The second is to expand the size of tennis and inflate it with a basketball bladder. In the same year, the first volleyball open was held in Springfield. This is the first volleyball match in the world. At that time, the game used five people against five people. Since then, this new sport has spread rapidly in schools. The first volleyball rule was made by Mr. Cameroon, an American. In 19 18, the number of volleyball players was set at 6. Since then, six-a-side volleyball has become popular in Europe and America.

Tennis, a new sport, was originally called mintonette, which was suggested by Professor halsted of Springfield in 1896. It is called volleyball (meaning continuous hitting in the air). This name has been used to this day. Volleyball was first translated as "team ball" in China, and later changed to "volleyball". 1964 At the18th Olympic Games held in Tokyo, I played volleyball for the first time.
