Basic equipment includes the net, ball, and referee stand. Common techniques are the forearm pass, overhead pass, and spike serve.

striking it with an overhand
throwing motion.
03
Topspin- an overhand serve
where the player tosses the ball
high and hits it with a wrist snap,
giving it topspin which causes it
to drop faster than it would
otherwise and helps maintain a
straight flight path.
04

the ball is hit with no spin so that
its path becomes unpredictable,
akin to a knuckleball in baseball.

VOLLEYBALL FAULTS
32. •In the winter of 1895], in Holyoke, Massachusetts (United States), William G. Morgan, a YMCA
physical education director, created a new game called Mintonette, a name derived from the game
of badminton, as a pastime to be played (preferably) indoors and by any number of players. The
game took some of its characteristics from other sports such as tennis and handball.
•The first rules, written down by William G Morgan, called for a net 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) high, a 25 ft × 50
ft (7.6 m × 15.2 m) court, and any number of players.
•After an observer, Alfred Halstead, noticed the volleying nature of the game at its first exhibition
match in 1896, played at the International YMCA Training School (now called Springfield College),
the game quickly became known as volleyball (it was originally spelled as two words: "volley ball").
•A volleyball antenna gives players and the referee a visual aid to judge if a ball is in play or out of
bounds as it flies over the net.
