Volleyball
Volleyball was
invented in 1895 by
William G Morgan,
the athletic director
of the YMCA in
Holyoke,
Massachusetts.
 Because of the
increasing awareness of
the sport worldwide, the
Federation International
de Volleyball was
organized in 1947. A
year later, the initial
world championships
were held in Prague,
Czechoslovakia.
Olympic Games
 Encouraged by the general public’s acceptance of
the game, the FIVB began to try its best to have
volleyball added to the Olympic Games, a dream
that came true in Tokyo 17 years later. At
present, the governing body of volleyball is
Federation International de Volleyball.
 Volleyball is a team
game played by six
players on each side.
The purpose of
playing volley ball is
to send a ball over a
net and within the
boundaries of a court
so that the opposing
team is unable to
return it or prevent it
from hitting the
ground.
Boundary:

 In international competitions
a match is the best of five
sets; it is won by the team
that wins 3 sets. Sets are the best of five sets：
won by the team that first 五局三胜制
scores 25 points. If teams
are tied at 24 to 24, play
continues until a two-point
lead is achieved. The final
set is won by the team that
first scores 15 points. If
teams are tied 14 to 14, play
continues until two point
lead is achieved.
