Submit A Special Request Olympic Sports History VOLLEYBALL Volleyball was a demonstration sport at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam, leading to its introduction into the Netherlands. In 1929, governing bodies were organized in Japan and China. Both of those countries allowed nine players on a team. Volleyball was introduced to many Latin American countries at the 1929 Caribbean and Central American Games in Cuba, which used the U. S. rules. The Soviet Union held its first national tournament in 1933 and played the first series of international matches against Afghanistan two years later. During World War II, volleyball was again recommended as recreation and physical training for American forces. Servicemen set up courts in camps all over the world, introducing the sport to millions of people. Almost immediately after the war, efforts began to establish an international federation. The Czech, French and Polish national governing bodies met in August of 1946 to create an organizing commission to conduct a European or world championship. Fourteen European federations founded the Federation Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) in April of 1947. The first FIVB rules set the court at 9 by 18 meters, with the height of the net at 2.43 meters for men and 2.24 meters for women.

Text reprinted courtesy of FIVB. Photos courtesy of FIVB and Volleyball Hall of Fame archives. The Federation Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), the worldwide governing body for the sport of volleyball, is based in Lausanne, Switzerland and led by its president, Dr. Ruben Acosta H. The FIVB was founded in Paris in 1947 by 14 nations. Its first president, Paul Libaud, was succeeded by Dr. Acosta in 1984. In Holyoke, Massachusetts, William G. Morgan, a YMCA physical education director, created a new game called "Mintonette" as a pastime to be played preferably indoors and by any number of players. The game took some of its characteristics from tennis and handball. It was not as rough as basketball, but still required quite a bit of athletic effort. After a demonstration given at the YMCA in nearby Springfield, the name "Mintonette" was replaced with "Volleyball." The rules, as modified by W.E. Day, were accepted and published by the YMCA. The height of the net went up to 7 feet 6 inches. Match length was set at 21 points. Canada was the first "foreign" country to adopt volleyball.

Volleyball Volleyball Beach Volleyball Sports Entry Forms Olympic Tournament A YMCA physical education teacher, William G. Morgan, in his attempt to find an indoor team game with a minimal risk of injury, invented the sport of Volleyball in 1895, at the YMCA branch of Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA.  Its initial name was "Mintonette".  Within a short period of time, however, and after an exhibition game took place, it was renamed to Volleyball. Description The aim of both Volleyball and Beach Volleyball games is to pass the ball over the net so that it hits the ground on the opponent's court, while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. There are two Volleyball disciplines: Volleyball and Beach Volleyball.

Volleyball History In 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. 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 , a special ball was designed for the sport. - YMCA spread volleyball to Canada, the Orient, and the Southern Hemisphere. - YMCA spread volleyball to Cuba Volleyball was presented at the Playground of America convention as one of the most popular sports - YMCA spread volleyball to Puerto Rico - YMCA spread volleyball to Uruguay - Volleyball competition held in Far Eastern Games - YMCA spread volleyball to Brazil In , in the Philippines, an offensive style of passing the ball in a high trajectory to be struck by another player (the set and spike) were introduced.

BUILDING PLANS International Institute for Sport and Olympic History Future spot for architect's drawing! The search is on. We have begun looking for land in central Pennsylvania to build a campus for the Institute. Our plan is described in more detail below. Eventually we anticipate that this campus will be one of the largest sports facilities in Pennsylvania. The IISOH effectively has two divisions the Library and the Museum. The Board of Directors are seeking benefactor(s) to endow each division with a $25 million donation. An endowment will also be sought for the theatre in the amount of $25 million. The benefactor(s) will then be offered the opportunity to name the Library, Museum or theatre, subject to the final approval of the Board of Directors. Go to the ENDOWMENTS page. Our plans are to construct facilities on a campus approximately 300 acres in size. This will allow us have room for expansion in the decades to come as we increase the endowment and add sports facilities to the educational program. Sports fields are desirable in order to teach through participation and play. If we have a baseball field we can teach the history of baseball by playing a game using 1860 rules for 3 innings, then playing by modern rules for 3 innings. In the basement of the Museum we could have a bowling alley from the 1800's where the pins have to be set by hand, and right next to it have a modern bowling alley that is fully automated. Our visitors can go bowling either way. Consider the possibilities for each and every sport this means a lot of space is needed.

Search Beach Volleyball Table of Contents History World Champions Other Resources History Playing volleyball at the beach, which is not the same thing as playing modern beach volleyball, evidently began in Hawaii in 1915, when the Outrigger Beach and Canoe Club set up a court on Waikiki Beach. The main purpose of the club was to promote surfing, but when the waves weren't right, members often played volleyball while waiting for the surf to come up. One of the players was Duke Kahanamoku, the Olympic swimmer and surfing pioneer. Later, as athletic director at the Beach Club in Santa Monica, California, Kahanamoku helped turn beach volleyball from a leisurely activity into a fast-paced, athletic sport. During the early 1920s, college students began playing six-on-six volleyball on beaches in Southern California. A number of courts were built at public and private beaches, especially around Santa Monica. Two private clubs in Santa Monica, the Beach Club and the Swimming Club, began regular competition in 1924, playing every Sunday from July Fourth through Labor Day weekend. On public beaches, groups of families often played three-on-three or four-on-four games, depending on how many players were available.

39. History Of The Carolina Region And USA Volleyball BRIEF history OF USA volleyball. and is recognized as such by the Federation Internationalde volleyball (FIVB) and the United States olympic Committee (USOC http://www.carolinaregionvb.org/Misc/history.htm

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CAROLINA REGION/USAV The Carolina Region of USA Volleyball (USAV) officially became an independent Region of USA Volleyball in 1981/1982, but North Carolina amateur volleyball players have been a part of the USA Volleyball structure since its inception. USA Volleyball originally divided the country up into Numbered Regions of which North Carolina was placed in Region Five. Eventually, Region Names were adopted and North Carolina was part of the Southern Region along with Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and South Carolina. NC teams would have to travel throughout this Region to play in tournaments! In 1981, a group of NC volleyball players (Rick Bardolph, Tere Dail, and Fred Wendelboe-first Commissioner) felt it would be beneficial for NC and SC to split off from the Southern Region to help foster growth. The Carolina Region was officially incorporated in March of 1982. The Region inherited 275 members from its split with the Southern Region. By 1987, Carolina Region volleyball was growing steadily. A group of members in South Carolina felt growth in that state could be better achieved by forming their own Region, so with the approval of the Carolina Region and the Regional Operations Division of USA Volleyball, the Palmetto Region (SC) split off from the Carolina Region in 1987. The Carolina Region had 1563 members in 1987 of which 282 split off to become the Palmetto Region. North Carolina was on it's own as a USAV Region. The Carolina Region was fortunate to host the 1990 USA Open Volleyball Championships in Raleigh, NC. A host of volunteers from across the state helped make this a successful event, the last one not held in a Convention Center. In 1993, the Carolina Region had continued to grow and part-time staff was needed to service the membership and continue the growth. By 1994, one full-time paid Office Manager was hired. The Office was based in the basement of the Commissioner's house! And the Region has continued to grow. By 2001 the Region had grown so much new office space was required, so the Region leased a two-room suite in Clemmons, NC. The 2002 membership season saw the Carolina Region register 3144 members and 284 teams.
