the information regarding the knowledge of the game.
The Volleyball Court
The standard court dimension is 18 metres by 9 metres with a net in the
centre. Volleyball is played both indoors and outdoors and so there are different
dimensions of the court. divided into two 9 m × 9 m halves by a one-meter (40-inch)
wide net placed so that the top of the net is 2.43 meters (7 feet 11 5/8 inches) above the
center of the court for men's competition, and 2.24 meters (7 feet 4 1/8 inches) for
women's competition (these heights are varied for veterans and junior competitions).
Boundary lines mark the perimeter of the court. The end lines mark the length or the court, and the
sidelines to mark the width of the court.
The Attack line is the line that separates the front court(the area near the net) and the back
court(the area between the attack line and end line.
The Service area is the area beyond the service line where players serve the ball.
In men's volleyball, the net is just short of 8 feet, and the
women's net is 7 feet and 4 inches. The antennae stand at either side
of the net, holding it up. It also marks what is in-bounds and out-of-
bounds.
HISTORY OF THE SPORT
The sport of volleyball originated in the United States. In the winter of 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. The young
Morgan carried out his undergraduate studies at the Springfield College of the YMCA (Young
Men's Christian Association) where he met James Naismith who, in 1891, had invented
basketball. Morgan was keen for his sport to offer a less physically intense and demanding
alternative to Naismith’s basketball, one that would appeal to a far broader range of ages and
physical abilities.
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.
During a demonstration game, someone remarked to Morgan that the players seemed to be
volleying the ball back and forth over the net, and perhaps “volleyball” would be a more
descriptive name for the sport. On July 7, 1896 at Springfield College the first game of
“volleyball” was played. In 1900, a special ball was created. The original rules were written by
Morgan and printed in the first edition of the Official Handbook of the Athletic League of the
Young Men’s Christian Associations of North America (1897).
Refinements and later developments
The first country outside the United States to adopt volleyball was
Canada in 1900.[11] Until the early 1930s volleyball was for the most part a game of
leisure and recreation, and there were only a few international activities and competitions.An
international federation, the Fédération Internationale de
Volleyball (FIVB), was founded in 1947, and the first World
Championships were held in 1949 for men and 1952 for women.
[14]
The sport is now popular in Brazil, in Europe (where especially
Italy, the Netherlands, and countries from Eastern Europe have
been major forces since the late 1980s), in Russia, and in other
countries including China and the rest of Asia, as well as in the
United States.
The first two-man beach game was played. Volleyball made its Olympic debut at
Tokyo 1964, with the USSR taking men’s gold and the host nation winning the women’s
competition.
Volleyball has witnessed a particularly impressive growth spurt over
the last two decades, fuelled by the expansion of international
competitions such as the FIVB World Championships, the FIVB World
League, the FIVB World Grand Prix, the FIVB World Cup and the
FIVB Grand Champions Cup, not to mention of course, the Olympic
Games, where both the indoor and beach versions now enjoy huge
popularity.
Volleyball is now one of the big five international sports. Today,

over 120 years after
it was first conceived, volleyball is played by more than 800 million
people worldwide, a fact that would surely leave its creator, William
Morgan, whose goal was to create a sport open to all, a huge amount
of satisfaction.

UNDERSTUDY OF COACH

William George Morgan (January 23, 1870 – December 27, 1942) was the
inventor of volleyball, originally called "Mintonette", a name derived from the
game of badminton which he later agreed to change to better reflect the nature
of the sport.[1] He was born in Lockport, New York, U.S.[2] Morgan was the eldest
of his siblings. His parents were George Henry Morgan (1841-1915) and Nancy
Chatfield (1848-1932). He later married Mary King Caldwell and had 4 children.
He met James Naismith, inventor of basketball, while Morgan was studying
at Springfield College in 1892. Like Naismith, Morgan pursued a career in Physical
Education at the YMCA. Influenced by Naismith and basketball, in 1895,
in Holyoke, Massachusetts, Morgan invented "Mintonette" a less vigorous team
sport more suitable for older members of the YMCA but one that still required
athletic skill.[3] After some fine-tuning, the game of volleyball made it's official
debut eight months later at what would eventually become Springfield College.
The game was accepted as a success, however, it was determined that the name
should be changed. Later Alfred S. Halstead watched it being played and renamed
it "Volleyball", because the point of the game is to volley the ball back and forth
over the net.
William Morgan left his job at the YMCA in 1897 to start a new career with
General Electric and Westinghouse. He stayed in touch with Springfield College
and stated that he was "content in the knowledge that the game brought a richer
life to millions of people throughout the world . Morgan left the YMCA in 1900 to
pursue various careers in business.. In 1985 he became the inaugural member of
the Volleyball Hall of Fame.
In 1995, The Morgan Trophy Award was created. The Award is presented
annually to the most outstanding male and female collegiate volleyball player in
the US.[8] An elementary school in Holyoke, William Morgan School, bears his
name. He died on December 27, 1942.
