History of Volleyball

The game, first referred to as 'Mintonette', was the brainchild of American William G. Morgan and spread to Europe and around the world during the Great War.

It became an officially recognised sport after the Second World War when the International Federation was founded and, having been played as a demonstration sport at the 1924 Olympics, was granted full status at the 1964 Tokyo Games.
