Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, who originally called it "mintonette" due to the net dividing the court. The objective is for teams to volley a ball back and forth over the net until a team misses, with points awarded for each successful volley. A volleyball court is divided evenly by a center line and attack lines, with a net placed directly above the center line at specific heights depending on gender. Games consist of sets, with specific rules governing serving, hitting, and scoring.
