History of Volleyball

The game of volleyball, originally called “mintonette,” was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan
after the invention of basketball only four years before. Morgan, a graduate of the Springfield College of
the YMCA, designed the game to be a combination of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball.The
offensive style of setting and spiking was first demonstrated in the Philippines in 1916. Over the years
that followed, it became clear that standard rules were needed for tournament play, and thus the
USVBA (United States Volleyball Association) was formed in 1928.

Fundamental Skills in Volleyball

The six basic volleyball skills are passing, setting, spiking, blocking, digging, and serving.

•Passing is often thought of as the most important skill in volleyball. If you can't pass the serve, then you
won't ever put your team in a position to score a point.

•The importance of serving is often undervalued. Many coaches don't teach players to serve aggressive
and use this opportunity to give the team an advantage for scoring points.

•Blocking is perhaps the least taught skill in volleyball. Players can get away with poor blocking skills
because not blocking isn't going to hurt the team as much as being poor at executing other skills in
volleyball.

•Digging is another skill that isn't focused on quite as much as most skills in volleyball.

•The setter position is considered to be the most important position in volleyball. The setter basically
runs the team offense.

Officials in the Volleyball Game

Volleyball officials that make up the officiating crew are first referee, second referee,scorekeeper,
assistant scorer, and line judges.

•The first referee is in charge from the beginning of the match until the end.

•The second referee should establish a report with the scorekeeper and libero tracker.

•The scorekeeper's main job is to make sure the score is correct at all times. The scorekeeper uses a
score sheet to keep track of the game

•The assistant scorer's main function is to record libero replacements on to a libero tracking sheet.
