Dr. James Naismith envisioned a game that was simple to understand but complex enough to be interesting. It was playable indoors with multiple players.
Volleyball was invented by William G. Morgan, a PE instructor at the YMCA
It was originally called "mintonette" and was inspired by tennis
The game uses a ball slightly bigger but lighter than a basketball
In 1912, the number of players and rotation was established to 6 per team
In 1916, the scoring system was updated to the current one, originally 21 points
In 1920, a significant modification in the rules of volleyball was introduced, including a maximum of three hits
In 1948, blocking was included in the standardized rules
In 1964,volleyball became an Olympic sport in Tokyo and the rules were officially standardized
In 1994/95, regulations allowing the use of feet were introduced
In 1998, new regulations for the rally point system were implemented, with 25 points for regular games and 15 for tiebreakers. The libero position was also introduced
