It is believed that volleyball arose thanks to William J. Morgan, a teacher of physical education at one of the Holyoke colleges (USA). In 1895, at one of his lessons, he hung up a net (approximately at a height of 2 meters) and suggested that his students throw a basketball chamber through it. The resulting game Morgan called "Mintonet." Two years later, the first volleyball was developed and put into production. In the second half of the 1920s, the national federations of Bulgaria, the USSR, the USA and Japan appeared. In 1922, the first international competitions were held in Brooklyn, it was the YMCA championship with 23 male teams. In 1925, the modern size of the court was approved, as well as the size and weight of the volleyball. These rules were relevant for the countries of America, Africa and Europe. In 1947, the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) was founded. Members of the federation are: Belgium, Brazil, Hungary, Egypt, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, USA, Uruguay, France, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. In 1949, the first men's world championship was held in Prague, and in 1964 volleyball was included in the program of the Olympic Games in Tokyo. In international competitions of the 1960-1970s, the national teams of the USSR, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Japan achieved the greatest success. Since the 1990s, the list of the strongest teams has replenished with Brazil, the USA, Cuba, Italy, the Netherlands, Yugoslavia. Since 2006, the FIVB unites 220 national volleyball federations, the game is one of the most popular sports on Earth. Source: http://ru.sport-wiki.org/vidy-sporta/voleybol/
