Who invented volleyball?
Volleyball was invented by William G. Morgan in 1895. William Morgan was a physical education instructor in Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA, and created the sport as a less physically demanding alternative to basketball, which was popular at the time. The game was initially called “Mintonette” before being renamed “Volleyball” because of the way the ball was volleyed back and forth over the net.
What is beach volleyball and how is it played?
Beach volleyball is a popular and exciting sport played on sand courts, typically near beaches or in locations close to the coast. It is a variant of track volleyball, but it is played in a more relaxed and outdoor environment. The game has two teams, each made up of two players.
How to play beach volleyball:
Court and Net:
The beach volleyball court is smaller than the track volleyball court, measuring 16 meters long and 8 meters wide. The net is placed in the center of the court and has a height of 2.43 meters (7 feet 11 5/8 inches) for the men’s competition and 2.24 meters (7 feet 4 1/8 inches) for the women’s competition.
Service:
The game begins with a serve. A player from the serving team stands behind the baseline and sends the ball over the net into the opposing team’s court. The serve must go over the net and land inside the opponent’s court.
Three Touches:
Each team has a maximum of three touches to return the ball to the opponent’s court. The most common sequence is a pass (forearm pass), a set (overhead pass), and a spike (attack) to send the ball back to the other side.
No Double Tap:
In beach volleyball, consecutive touches by the same player are not allowed, except when blocking the net. Each player must alternate touching him during a rally.
Punctuation:
Points are scored when a team manages to land the ball in the opponent’s court, or if the opposing team makes a mistake, such as sending the ball out of bounds or committing a foul. The first team to reach a set number of points (usually 21 or 15) and have a two-point lead wins the set.
Matches:
Beach volleyball matches are generally played as a best of three sets, and the team that wins two sets is declared the winner of the match. In some tournaments, the final match may be a best of five sets.
Change of Side:
Teams switch sides of the court after each set to adjust any advantage due to wind or sun direction.
Libero Position:
Unlike track volleyball, beach volleyball does not have a designated libero position. Both players on each team can attack, block and defend.
Beach volleyball is known for its fast action, impressive dives, and incredible athleticism. It requires teamwork, communication, and a combination of skill and power to be successful. It is a fun and challenging sport that can be enjoyed by players of all skill levels.
