Volleyball: Developed By William G. Morgan

     The sport of volleyball was created by a man named William G. Morgan of Holyoke, Massachusetts in 1895. Morgan was a physical education teacher at the YMCA and called it "mintonette". It was an indoor or outdoor pastime that had characteristics of both handball and tennis. The first rules were written down by Morgan himself. He wrote that the game called for a 6 foot 6 inch net and a court of 25x50 feet. A match composed of 9 innings and 3 serves for each team in each inning. In case of a serving error they got a second chance just like in tennis. If the ball it the net

2. A faceoff starts each period of the game, and takes place after every goal. Depending on if you are male or female, the faceoff is different.

The game starts with a scrum, which is the forwards or scrumies. They push each other until the ball is kicked back enough to be placed out of the scrum. From there, a player can only advance by passing back or going in for a ruck. A ruck is when the player with the ball is tackled, a player from the same team puts their legs over them so the other team cannot grab the ball. If the ball goes out of bounds a hooker and the teams line out team goes and competes for the ball. (Rugby History,

There are five players that will start out in the game which are called your starters. You always have five players in the game at all time. The are what are called fouls in basketball. Fouls can hurt you if you're down in the game with very few time left. Here are some examples of fouls, technical foul, personal foul, and a charging foul. Here are some other ruler that you can’t do that are not fouls, travel, double dribble, three second violation, and a five second violation. The object in basketball is to get as many points into the basketball hoop. You can get a three or a two pointer. There are many ruler and ways to teach the game of

These 10 positions include 3 attacks, 3 mid-fields, 3 defenders, and a goalie. Throughout the game there are tactical rolling substitutions such as you might see in ice hockey. This gets fresh players on the field so that the game can be played at an extremely fast pace. The purpose of the game is to score as many points or goals as possible in the time allotted. The goals are 6 feet by 6 feet, and they are placed about 10 yards into the playing surface so that players can run behind them, again, much like ice hockey.

Once the ball is in play, each player hits the ball back and forth until one misses the ball, hits an illegal shot or goes out of bounds. The objective is earn points or win the serve each player must try end the rally. To end a rally, a player's shot hits the front wall at its lowest point, causing the ball to go out of bounds rather than bounce back into the playing area; this is call a kill shot or a rollout. Rallies end with an error, or if the ball makes contact with the floor before reaching the wall. The walls and ceilings can be used for shot variations.

Opponent Three at 3-point line as displayed in Figure 14. While this transition occurs, Player Five must also quickly drop down to guard Opponent Four at the low post and Player One must also come down to the high post in order to deny the pass to Opponent Five. Also, Player Three should move down closer to the 3-point line in order to help defend, but also to be in the passing lane back to Opponent One. Lastly, Player Four should come into the paint and must be ready to defend the lob pass to Opponent Four and to defend the high post if Opponent Five receives the ball; Player Four must also be ready to run out to the wing and guard the 3-point shot of Opponent Two if the ball is skipped across the court.

A big part of what most people will notice right away if they watch NBA and College basketball is the officiating. In the NBA, as soon as a team reaches 5 fouls in a quarter the opposing team gets two foul shots for every foul after that, whether it’s a shooting or on the floor fouls. Once the quarter ends, the team's fouls will reset, but not personal fouls. This is much simpler than how fouls work in College basketball. Instead of quarters college basketball has halves. So, in each half as soon as one team reaches 7 team fouls the opposing team gets 1 fouls shot for every foul from there on out. This happens until the team is to reach 10 team fouls, from this point on the opposing team gets 2 fouls shot for every foul. Once a half is over then the team' fouls will then reset back to zero. The biggest difference most people will notice is the fact that in the NBA a player can get up

If a ball lands in a cup, the team whose cup has the ball must drink the beer in the cup. The team who gets their opponents to finish all the cups of beer in front of them first wins, and plays until they lose to other opponents. The losers must drink all of their cups and in addition must drink all the cups left over from the winning team.

Basically, there's a ball. And the boys have to run, and when they have the ball they get tackled. Ball, tackling, running…yep, that's about it. Oh, and there are no teams. Great.

There are always six people starting, positions 1,2,3,4,5,6. Positions one and four are the setting positions; the people who play the net. Each time the ball crosses the net your team has three attempts to hit the ball back over.

The right foot needs to be on the edge of the court, on the ten foot line, on the left side. All of your weight needs to be on the right foot, you can even have your left foot off the ground if that helps. The arms need to be down, and relaxed in front of you. As soon as the ball is at its highest peak in the air, take your first step. The first step with the left foot is a long step in the direction of the ball, and your arms stay relaxed. The second step is a quick step with the right foot, your arms should swing back behind you in order to gain momentum. The last step is also a quick step with the left foot, your arms should come up quickly above your head, and you should jump into the air.
