Volleyball was created in 1895 by William G. Morgan and has since become a worldwide sensation.
Volleyball was originally known as“ Mintonette” because of its similarities to badminton.
The now well-known official ball for the sport was crafted in the year 1900.
Volleyball was first introduced as an Olympic sport in 1964.
JV Volleyball Coach
Chan was frequently found watching Ms. Forbes son,
Joshua Forbes. These two became good buddies during the season.
Some of the most important skills I learned this season during volleyball had less to do with the sport and more to do with working with others. I learned how to communicate and work with a team. For these reasons my team felt more like my second family. I hope my team knows how much I love them!
