Volleyball

== = =

==**H ****istory **==
 * In 1895, William G. Morgan, an instructor at the Young Men's Christain Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Mass., decided to blend elements of basketball, baseball, tennis and handball to create a game for his classes of businessmen which would demand less physical contact than basketball. He created the game of Volleyball. He borrowed the nets from tennis, and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the floor. On July 7, 1896 at Springfield College the first game of Volleyball was played.**
