To begin, I should probably give some background on volleyball. It was created at the YMCA by a guy named William G. Morgan. He found that many of the people at the YMCA just could not keep up with the fast paced, aggressive sport basketball. Some he created a game originally called "mintonette". Now it has evolved into what is now volleyball.
Volleyball is a game played on a rectangular court with a net across the middle. On each side of the net are six players with the objective to not let the ball hit the ground as well as get the ball back over in three touches or less. To make the game more challenging, one player can not touch the ball twice in a row.
As players become better and more experienced, the game of volleyball speeds up tremendously. From elementary school volleyball to NCAA volleyball or even Olympic volleyball, there is a huge increase in skill.
Whether it is the sharp slamming of the ball across the net or the dive that keeps the ball up in the air, volleyball is a sport that is absolutely filled with excitement. Many people do not understand that. To them volleyball is just another sport for girls. But the truth is, volleyball is a sport for anyone who enjoys the adrenaline of a fast paced game. As a huge fan of the sport, I know that once you play volleyball, you will love it.
Volleyball is a sport that can create friendships for life or create a sense of belonging and that's the truth behind it. In this blog, I intend to share players to watch, highlights, as well as help everyone love the game of volleyball as much as I do.
