Form of Volleyball

Beach:
Beach Volleyball is different from court Volleyball. Its different because one it takes place on the beach next it is more harder. Its kinda harder because you are running in sand and having sand go in your mouth when you are diving for the ball. You don't need to wear need pads, all you wear is a bathing suit and instead of 6 players you only have 2 players to work with. So that is the beach Volleyball and why it is different from court Volleyball.

Court:
Court Volleyball is different from beach Volleyball. Its different because it takes place in a gym and its pretty easy from the beach Volleyball. Its easy because you have shoes to run in and you are flexiable in moving around wit spandex on. You have knee pads on so its easy for you to get low and dive for the ball. Instead of 2 players who have 6 players so your whole team works together. So that is the court Volleyball and why it is different from beach Volleyball.

The history of Volleyball and Famous Players of All Time

What is the history of Volleyball?

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.
