The best ball game turns 126 years old!
On February 9, 1895, in Holyoke, in the gym of the Young Men's Christian Association, physical education teacher William Morgan came up with a team ball game in which elements of basketball, baseball and handball are mixed, and the net is borrowed from tennis. In the gym, Morgan hung a tennis net at a height of 197 cm and his students began to throw a ball over it.
Congratulations to all amateurs and professionals on the birthday of our favorite sport! Happy birthday, volleyball!
