William G. Morgan invented the sport named Mintonette in 1895. But later, ALfred Halstead re-named Mintonette to volleyball because the object of the game was to hit the ball back and fourth. Morgan took some of the characteristics from tennis, handball and basketball. He liked tennis how it was required with rackets, balls, and a net, so he took that idea and made bigger balls, they used their hands instead of the rackets, and they used a higher net.
