Interesting Tid-bit:
BASKETBALL and VOLLEYBALL were invented by instructors at the Young Men's Christian Association-YMCA.
James Naismith, a medical doctor and Presbyterian minister, invented the game of BASKETBALL at the YMCA training school in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1891.
His colleague, William Morgan, as the physical education director at the YMCA in Holyoke, Massachusetts, invented VOLLEYBALL in 1895.
They might be amazed at the popularity of the games they invented -- and at the lifestyle of many of the people who play those games professionally.
