How To Get Volleyball Ready, The Volleyball Outfit Checklist

The invention of volleyball dates back to 1895 when William G. Morgan in Massachusetts decided to develop a less arduous sport compared to basketball. It was called “Mintonette”, but soon was renamed when a local professor noted that the ball volleyed over the net. However, it gained popularity when it debuted in 1964’s Olympics. Today, Volleyball is played daily all around the world, from amatuer to professional level including:
