Facts About Volleyball For Kids

History & Origins

Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan at the YMCA in Holyoke, Massachusetts, as a less intense alternative to basketball!

The first volleyball was actually part of a basketball bladder, and players had to return it over a rope that was 6 feet (1.83 m) 6 inches (15 cm) high!
