DID YOU KNOW?

Volleyball has been a favorite sport for all ages for over a century—and it started at the YMCA!
Inspired by basketball’s inventor, James Naismith, William G. Morgan created the game in 1895, originally calling it “mintonette.” Professor Alfred Halstead later renamed it “volleyball” after observing the game in action. Since then, the sport has grown globally, with over 800 million players today.
