The Evolution of Volleyball: From Mintonette to Olympic Glory

Volleyball, introduced by William G. Morgan in 1895 as "Mintonette," was designed for less physically demanding play. Initially featuring simple rules and open team sizes, the sport rapidly evolved. Alfred Halstead's first exhibition in 1896 marked its official debut, leading to the name change to "Volleyball" in 1919. By 1964, it became an Olympic sport, showcasing its global appeal. The game's mechanics, including the 3-hit rule and roles of players like the libero and setter, are crucial to its strategy. Iconic athletes like Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh-Jennings have further cemented volleyball's place in sports history.
