Today, every volleyball player or fan of this popular sport game celebrates World Volleyball Day.
128 years ago, on February 9, 1895, American physical education teacher William Morgan first hung a tennis net and played several matches among his students. Now volleyball is one of the most popular playing sports.
Some interesting facts about volleyball:
- this is the only team game in which the result goes to the score, and not to the time, so the match can go on for a very long time.
- for one full-fledged match, each player on average has to make about 250 jumps and run within 1 km.
- at the 2nd Winter Children of Asia International Sports Games in Kuzbass for the first time demonstration tournaments in volleyball on snow will be held. The competition will be hosted by the Sheregesh ski resort.
Happy Holidays to Volleyball Players! See you in Sheregesh!
