Most Favorite Sports - Volleyball 排球
History 歷史
Volleyball is one of the world's most popular sports and is played by more than 800 million people on the planet at least once a week. The game of volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, a teacher at a YMCA in Holyoke, Massachusetts. He combined parts of tennis, baseball, basketball, and handball to create a new game to be played indoors by people who wanted less physical contact than basketball. Morgan borrowed the net from tennis and raised it six feet six inches above the floor, a little higher than an average man's head.
排球是世界上最受歡迎的運動之一，地球上有8億多人每周至少打一次排球。排球運動是1895年由馬薩諸塞州荷利克市基督教青年會的一位教師威廉 G 摩根發(fā)明的。他將網(wǎng)球、棒球、籃球和手球的各一部分結(jié)合起來，創(chuàng)造了一種新的運動，供那些不想像籃球那樣有太多身體接觸的人在室內(nèi)玩。摩根從網(wǎng)球那里借來了球網(wǎng)的概念，把網(wǎng)抬高到離地6英尺6英寸（小編注：約1.98米）高，比一般人的個頭高一點的高度。
Rules 規(guī)則
When volleyball was first invented, it was much different from the game today. You could have as many players as you wanted on each team. There were nine innings per game, with three outs per inning. There was also no limit on the number of hits of the ball on each side of the court. Here are the basic rules of volleyball today.

The ball is put in play by a serve that is hit by the server over the net to the opponent.
