Classic volleyball, which was originally called "mintonette" (mintonette), was invented in 1895 by William J. Morgan. It is noteworthy that this happened only 4 years after the invention of basketball. Morgan is a graduate of Springfield and Young Christian Association College. In 1892, he spoke with basketball inventor James Naismith. Oddly enough, James is white :). The number of players on the court was then unlimited, as was the number of touches of the ball. A point was counted only with its own serve. The failed pitch could be repeated. Game up to 21 points.
