1. Briefly describe how to play the sport
❖ Volleyball is a dynamic team sport played between two teams of six players, where
the objective is to score points by hitting a ball over a net into the opposing team's
court. The game begins with a serve, and the receiving team has three attempts to
return the ball. Key skills in volleyball include serving, blocking, and setting up
plays, all of which contribute to scoring points and winning rallies.
❖ For beach volleyball, there are only two players per team. However, indoor
volleyball is a little bit more complicated. Each team has six players, with three at
the front in the attack zone and three in the back in the defense zone.
➢ Outside hitter: As you face the net, this player stands at the front-left of the
court in the attack zone.
➢ Right side hitter: This player has similar responsibilities to the outside hitter,
but they focus on the right-hand side of the court.
➢ Opposite hitter: This is the player who scores the most points in the game. Their
position is usually in the back left corner of the court.
➢ Setter: Often called the playmaker, this player is like the quarterback of the
team. They run the offensive strategies and set the ball up for the attackers to
score.
➢ Middle blocker: Sitting in the middle, right in front of the net, this player’s main
responsibility is to block attacks from the other team.
➢ Libero: This is a back row player, who can only work at the rear of the court.

5. The history and development of the sport
❖ Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, physical director of the
Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was
designed as an indoor sport for businessmen who found the game of basketball too
vigorous. Morgan called the sport “mintonette,” Because of the volleying nature of
play he called it Volleyball. The game soon proved to have wide appeal for both
sexes in schools, playgrounds, the armed forces, and other organizations in the
United States.
International volleyball competition began in 1913 with the first Far East Games,
in Manila. During the early 1900s and continuing until after World War II,
volleyball in Asia was played on a larger court, with a lower net, and nine players on
a team.
A four-year cycle of international volleyball events, recommended by the FIVB, began
in 1969 with World Cup championships, to be held in the year following the Olympic
Games; the second year is the World Championships; in the third the regional events are
held (e.g., European championships, Asian Games, African Games, Pan American
Games); and in the fourth year the Olympic Games.
