Invention and History of Volleyball
1870 - 1942

William Morgan based Volleyball on the popular German game called Faust ball. Morgan
invented volleyball in 1895 at the Holyoke, Massachusetts, YMCA (Young Men's Christian
Association) where he served as Director of Physical Education. Morgan originally called his
new game, Mintonette. The name Volleyball came about after a demonstration game of the
sport, when a spectator commented that the game involved much "volleying" and game was
renamed Volleyball. William Morgan was born in the state of New York. He studied at
Springfield College, Massachusetts. Ironically at Springfield, Morgan met James Naismith
who invented basketball in 1891. Morgan was motivated by Naismith's game of basketball
designed for younger students to invent a game suitable for the older members of the
YMCA. William Morgan's basis for the new game of Volleyball was the then popular and
similar German game of Faust ball and a few other sports including: tennis (the net),
basketball, baseball and handball. The Morgan Trophy Award is presented annually to the
most outstanding male and female collegiate volleyball player in the United States.
Established by the William G. Morgan Foundation in 1995 during the centennial year of
volleyball, the trophy is named in honor of William Morgan.

VOLLEYBALL SCORING SYSTEMS

o RALLY POINT SCORING
The team winning a rally scores a point (Rally Point System). When the
receiving team wins a rally, it gains a point and the right to serve, and its
players rotate one position clockwise.
The best of three or best of five games will win matches. Each non-deciding
game will be won by the team that first scores 25 points with a minimum
two-point advantage (no scoring cap). If there is a deciding game, it will be
won by the team that first scores 15 points with a minimum two-point
advantage (no scoring cap).
o SIDEOUT SCORING
Only the serving team may score a point, except in the deciding game when
rally-point scoring is used. When the receiving team wins a rally, it gains the
right to serve (also scoring a point in the deciding game), and its players
rotate one position clockwise. Rotation ensures that players play at both the
net and the back zone of the court.
A team wins a game by scoring 15 points with a two-point advantage and wins
the match by winning the best of three or five games. In the event of a 16-
16 tie, the team scoring the 17th point wins a non-deciding game with only a
one-point advantage. In a deciding game there is no point cap.

PLAYING AREA
 INDOOR - FIVB, USAV
Indoor courts are 18 m x 9m (59' .6614" x 29' 6.3307")

Indoor courts also include an attack area designated by a line 3 m (9' 10") back
from the center line.

Lines on the court are 5cm (2" wide).

NET HEIGHT
FIVB, USAV, AVP, CBVA

The height of the net shall be 2.43 m (7� 11 5/8�) for men and 2.24 m (7� 4 1/8�) for
women.

The net height is measured from the center of the playing court with a measuring device.
The two ends of the net (over the sidelines) must both be at the same height from the
playing surface and
must not exceed the official height by more than 2 cm (3/4").

The height of the net may vary for specific age groups as follows:

AGE GROUPS FEMALES / REVERSE-COED MALE / COED

55 years and above 2.38 m (7�9 5/8�)

45 years and above 2.19 m (7� 2 1/8�)
17/18 years and under 2.24 m (7� 4 1/8�) 2.43 m (7� 11 5/8�)
15/16 years and under 2.24 m (7� 4 1/8�) 2.43 m (7� 11 5/8�)
13/14 years and under 2.24 m (7� 4 1/8�) 2.24 m (7� 4 1/8�)
11/12 years and under 2.13 m (7� 0��) 2.13 m (7� 0�)
10 years and under 1.98 m (6� 6�) 2.13 m (7� 0�)
BALL

Circumference: 65 to 67 cm (25.5" to 27")

Weight: 260 to 280 grams (9 to 10 ounces)
Inside pressure: 0.30 to 0.325 kg/cm2 (4.3 to 4.6 lbs./sq. inch)

Twelve-and-under competition at the USAV Junior Olympic Volleyball Championships will

be conducted using a ball with the same circumference and inside pressure, but
with a weight of 198 to 227 grams (7 to 8 ounces).
PLAYING THE BALL
FIVB, USAV, AVP, CBVA
Each team is entitled to a maximum of three hits (in addition to blocking) to return the
ball.
Serve

A player stands behind the endline and serves the ball, in an attempt to drive it into the
opponent's court. His or her main objective is to make it land inside the court; it is also
desirable to set the ball's direction, speed and acceleration so that it becomes difficult
for the receiver to handle it properly. A serve is called an "ace" when the ball lands
directly onto the court or travels outside the court after being touched by an opponent.

Attack

The attack (or spike, the slang term) is usually the third contact a team makes with the
ball. The object of attacking is to handle the ball so that it lands on the opponent's court
and cannot be defended. A player makes a series of steps (the "approach"), jumps, and
swings at the ball.

Pass

Also called reception, the pass is the attempt by a team to properly handle the
opponent's serve, or any form of attack. Proper handling includes not only preventing the
ball from touching the court, but also making it reach the position where the setter is
standing quickly and precisely.The skill of passing involves fundamentally two specific
techniques: underarm pass, or bump, where the ball touches the inside part of the joined
forearms or platform, at waist line; and overhand pass, where it is handled with the
fingertips, like a set, above the head.

Set

The set is usually the second contact that a team makes with the ball. The main goal of
setting is to put the ball in the air in such a way that it can be driven by an attack into
the opponent's court. The setter coordinates the offensive movements of a team, and is
the player who ultimately decides which player will actually attack 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,
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.
