排球活动：美国传授发明Volleyball
The sport originated in the United States, and is now just achieving the type of popularity in the U.S. that it has received on a global basis, where it ranks behind only soccer among participation sports.
Today there are more than 46 million Americans who play volleyball. There are 800 million players worldwide who play Volleyball at least once a week.
In 1895, William G. Morgan, an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Mass., decided to blend elements of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball to create a game for his classes of businessmen which would demand less physical contact than basketball. He created the game of Volleyball (at that time called mintonette). Morgan borrowed the net from tennis, and raised it 6 feet 6 inches above the floor, just above the average man’s head.During a demonstration game, someone remarked to Morgan that the players seemed to be volleying the ball back and forth over the net, and perhaps "volleyball" would be a more descriptive name for the sport.排球历史1892年在美国马萨诸塞州，耐史密斯博士挂起了两个篮筐从而发了然篮球，而摩根在考察了他的冤家的新发明之后想，关于那些已过中年的贩子来讲篮球活动年夜概过于狠恶了一些。因此，四年之后，摩根发了然自己的活动项目。又过了一个世纪，他的发明——排球同篮球一道成为了奥运会上速度最快、对抗性最强的角逐项目之一。
摩根最后给他的发明起的名字是“mintonette”，外埠的一位传授很快将其界说为一种把球击过球网的游戏，于是，它最后的名字也就发作了窜改。
