The Network in the History of Volleyball

William Morgan was inspired by Tennis to get the idea of a sport with a net, but a net that would get taller than the Tennis network.

The History of volleyball

Volleyball needed to be something bigger than a tennis ball, but lighter than a basketball. A light leather ball was then created that could easily be thrown over the net.

The Score

In 1916 the score changed to a form reminiscent of today’s scoring system. The score changed from 21 to 15 points and the Sets were introduced. The winner was determined at a better of two, meaning that two Sets were needed to win a match.

Also in 1916 consecutive contacts (ringtones) by each player were limited to one touch.

It was also established that a player commits a foul to hold on or drive the ball.
