What Is Volleyball?

Volleyball is a ball sport that uses both hands to serve, cushion, pass, spike and block to organize offense and defense.
Volleyball originated in the United States. It was invented by William G. Morgan in Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA in 1895. Around 1900, volleyball was introduced from the United States to Canada. In 1905, volleyball was introduced to Cuba, Brazil, China and other countries, becoming a fashionable sport that was popular in America at that time. In 1949, the first World Men's Volleyball Championship was held in Prague, Czechoslovakia. In 1964, volleyball became an official Olympic event.
The highest-level organization of volleyball is the International Volleyball Federation, which was established in April 1947. The Chinese Volleyball Association was established in Beijing in 1953 and was officially accepted as a full member by the International Volleyball Federation in 1954.
