The best ball game turns 127 years old!

On February 9, 1895, in the city of Holyoke, in the gym of the Young Christians 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!
