If you think volleyball is weird today, you should see how people played when it was first created! If you have played volleyball before, you should know the basic rules. There are six people on each side of the court and you can only have three touches before you send the ball back to the other side. You play until the score is 25 and you serve every time you get a point. It sounds very simple, but it’s very hard to “bump, set, spike” every time the ball comes back over. In volleyball, you usually have three different kinds of players; back row, front row, and a setter. What you want to lean for in the game, is to get the pass up to the setter, who can set the hitters on front row, to hit it back to the other team.
Volleyball was established 1895 in the beginning of February. It wasn’t even called volleyball, it was called Mintonette. Mintonette was designed to be an indoor sport, yet less rough than basketball. The rules were a little it different than todays rules. There was still a net, but just a little bit different concept. It didn’t matter how many people were on the court, and you could “touch” it as many times as you needed before you sent it back over to the other team. You could also have a do-over on your serve if you missed it. There was also nine innings and each side had three serves per inning. These rules seem so different to people who play volleyball today, but I’m glad the rules are easier to understand.
