(Be The Best) Volleyball: A Step By Step Guide By Charles Bracken

Presentation By M`Lynn Koetting

Volleyball is a game for all sorts of people, that needs a net, ball, and optional knee pads. Either if your indoors or outdoors, make sure your on level grounds.

In the 1890s, the Italian volleyball game was reached to Germany, when it was called faustball. Faustball was played on a rectangular shaped court divided down the middle into two parts by a rope suspended above the floor.

Then in 1895, at one YMCA in a town called, Holyoke, Massachusetts, a teacher, William G. Morgan created his own, one of a kind version of faustball.

The years went on, more people were interested in volleyball. Finally in 1897, volleyball had it`s rules printed. Back in 1928, the United States Volleyball Association was discovered. Later on, it held its first championships.

For important volleyball games, players wear almost anything. Comfortable shirts, jeans, sweatpants and shorts are fine to deal with.

Right after the Second World War, in 1947, the International Volleyball Federation was put to together.

Back in 1964, another goal was made as an achievement. Volleyball is now officially an Olympic sport.

At any volleyball game the court is in a rectangular shape. The measure is right on the dot, fifty-nine feet long and twenty-nine and a half feet wide.
