Types of Volleyball

Beach volleyball and indoor volleyball were first played in the United States.  They are still very popular sports, seeing as volleyball has been an official sport of the Summer Olympic Games since 1964.  Walleyball was created in 1979 in the United States, but is not quite as popular as original volleyball.  Footvolley was created in Brazil in 1965, so that soccer players could still touch the ball despite the soccer ban of the time.  They resorted to playing soccer over a net instead. Footvolley has only started to gain popularity in the United States. Throwball  originated in Asia during the 1940's. It was originally a women's recreational sport, but it has expanded to both genders.
