A Brief History of Volleyball
Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan as a blend of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball. It was designed as a less physically demanding alternative to basketball — but it quickly evolved into one of the world’s most dynamic sports.
The game’s popularity exploded globally, reaching the Olympic stage in 1964, and eventually becoming one of the top team sports in schools, universities, and professional leagues worldwide.
Today, volleyball thrives both indoor and beach, showcasing incredible athleticism, strategy, and passion.
How Volleyball Is Played
Volleyball is played by two teams of six players on a rectangular court divided by a net. The goal is simple: send the ball over the net and make it land on the opponent’s side — while preventing them from doing the same.
Key Rules:
- Teams can touch the ball up to three times before sending it back.
- A rally begins with a serve and ends when the ball touches the ground or goes out of bounds.
- Matches are typically best-of-five sets; each set goes up to 25 points.
- A team must win by at least two points.
Juan Sports Volleyball provides guides and analysis for new fans and seasoned players alike — explaining techniques, strategies, and formations that define world-class gameplay.
