Volleyball was invented by William G Morgan who was from America. At first, it was invented to play for women and children without constraint. It was very simple rule. After that, he presented this game to YMCA. The name was "Mintonette", but it changed "Volleyball" soon. Volleyball quickly spread around America, Canada and Cuba. In 1913, volleyball came to Japan at first. It was played with 16 people, but finally, It was played with 9 people.
In 1920's it spread around Europe and already played with 6 people.
Tokyo Olympic games held in 1964, at that time, volleyball became formal sport and played.
The game played with 6 people or 9 people, but it mostly played with 6 people now. It is 25 scored match. If you get a point, you get your serve. Must win by 2 points.
This website is TBS volleyball. Volleyball is popular in Japan, because it is often broadcasted on TV. There are a lot of information about a day of broadcasting, columns, players, movies and pictures on this website. You can see a lot of information, so I recommend this website to want to know about volleyball.
This website is about volleyball information. There are a lot of articles about games, resalts, teams and administrations. I think that it is difficult to read, because there are many specialized words, but it is useful to know volleyball's situation.
Volleyball's rule is not so difficult. This website is about basic volleyball's rules. I thought that the rules are complex and difficult, but the basic rules are easy for me. This site is easy to understand and see, because it is itemized. I recommend this website.
