History Of Volleyball
In 1895, William G. Morgan, an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in
Holyoke, Mass., decided to blend elements of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball to create a
game for his classes of businessmen which would demand less physical contact than basketball. He
created the game of Volleyball (at that time called, mintonette). Morgan borrowed the net from
tennis, and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the floor, just above the average man's head.

Basic Skills in Volleyball

Serve
A player stands behind the inline and serves the ball, in an attempt to drive it into the opponent's
court.
Pass
Also called reception, the pass is the attempt by a team to properly handle the opponent's serve, or
any form of attack.
Set
The set is usually the second contact that a team makes with the ball.
Attack
The attack, also known as the spike, is usually the third contact a team makes with the ball.
Block
Blocking refers to the actions taken by players standing at the net to stop or alter an opponent's
attack.
Dig
Digging is the ability to prevent the ball from touching one's court after a spike or attack, particularly
a ball that is nearly touching the ground. In many aspects, this skill is similar to passing, or bumping:
overhand dig and bump are also used to distinguish between defensive actions taken with fingertips
or with joined arms.

History Of Basketball
The history of basketball began with its invention in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts by
Canadian physical education instructor James Naismith as a less injury-prone sport than football.
The game became established fairly quickly, very popular as the 20th century progressed, first in
America and then throughout the world. After basketball became established in American colleges,
the professional game followed; the American National Basketball Association (NBA), established in
1949, grew to a multi-billion dollar enterprise by the end of the century, and basketball became an
integral part of American culture.
