He decided to blend elements of basketball‚ tennis‚ handball‚ and baseball resulting in the game of Volleyball (at the time called mintonette).

Volleyball and the Body When I was in middle school‚ I had decided to play volleyball for some good exercise. I thought how hard it could be to hit a ball back and forth and not let it hit your team’s side of the floor. I liked being part of a team and knowing that I was staying healthy.

Playing the sport definitely built up my upper arm and leg muscle and helped me make friends and communicate better as a team. I had
