Volleyball : Volleyball, the game played with an inflated bladder and a high net was invented in 1895 at Holyoke Y.M.C.A. Gymnasium in United States of America (USA) by a Physical Director William J. Morgan.
Volleyball's first name was "MINTONNETTE" which was later named as Volleyball by "Dr. Alfred Halsted" of "Springfield College, Springfield, Massachusetts" because the ball had to be volleyed with hands from one side to the other side of the court.
International Volleyball Association was formed in 1947 with its headquarters in Paris (France). The first World Volleyball Championship was held in 1949 at Prague. The first Asian Volleyball Championship was held at Tokyo (Japan) in 1955, India beats Japan in the final.
