"I recently placed an order for two video's from Sports Videos USA that were to be gifts. The service and speed of delivery was far and away the best experience I have ever had with any on-line order. Even when I made a mistake in my order and accidentally ordered two of the same DVD, I was contacted right away to make sure I had placed my order correct, any other retailer would have sent both and pocketed the money without question. As a parent and city council member, I can say I wish everyone had the work ethic, service and integrity of the people at Sports Videos USA.".... Ed Laverone, San Juan Bautista, California
THE HISTORY OF VOLLEYBALL
The game of volleyball, originally called "mintonette", was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, after the invention of basketball by only 4 years. Morgan, a graduate of the Springfield College of the YMCA, designed the game to be a combination of basketball, baseball, tennis and handball.
The first volleyball net, borrowed from tennis, was only 6'6" high (though you need to remember that the average American was shorter in the 19th century).
The offensive style of setting and spiking in volleyball was first demonstrated in the Philippines in 1916. Over the years that followed, it became clear that standard rules were needed for volleyball tournament play, and thus the USVBA (United States Volleyball Association) was formed in 1928.
Two years later, the first 2-man beach volleyball game was played, though the professional side of the sport did not emerge until much later. Not surprisingly, the first beach volleyball association appeared in California (1965), and the professional players united under the auspices of the AVP (American Volleyball Professionals) in 1983.
During the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, American men and women took gold and silver medals in indoor volleyball competition. Four years later at the Olympics in Korea, the men once again scored gold. Starting in 1996, 2-man beach volleyball was officially introduced to the Olympics. Today, there are more than 800 million volleyball players worldwide, 46 million of them in the U.S.
