Do you think that volleyball is a sport?

Question

some people dont think that it is a sport just because we stay on one court.....do you think that it is a sport?

Answer 1

You move around, you have a team, and there is a ball, then yes it is a sport.

Answer 2

Most definitely.  It's an awesome sport.  Playing organized or school ball or even watching the world-class games like the Olympics or varsity ball will give you an idea of the complexities and nuances of the game.  Volleyball requires not only great athleticism but also an ample amount of strategies and tactics.  Great reflexes, anticipation, power, finesse, teamwork and passion.  It's all there baby.  Look closely, and you can apply these to a lot of sports.  And volleyball is definitely a sport.

Umm, baseball and basketball stay on one "court" as well.  Also many other sports.

You're also physically moving and participating, so for me that covers the sport aspect as well, vs. driving or playing cards, which certainly don't seem like sports to me.

Answer 25

Tell all the people that had said that that they are a bunch of c**p cause reagradless of what they say dosnt matter tat you should believe them. Just REad some of this information:

In 1995, the sport of Volleyball was 100 years old! The sport originated in the United States, and is now just achieving the type of popularity in the U.S. that it has received on a global basis, where it ranks behind only soccer among participation sports.  Today there are more than 800 million players worldwide who play Volleyball at least once a week.

Volleyball, like basketball, is a sport whose origin is known almost to the day. Oddly enough, both sports were invented at the same college and within a few years of one another. Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, a student at Springfield College and a director of the YMCA at Holyoke, Massachusetts. The game was originally called "Mintonette".

Volleyball quickly spread around the world and became more popular in other countries than in the United States. The Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) was formed in 1946. The sport was introduced to the Olympics in 1964 by the Japanese, although it was never contested as a demonstration sport at the Olympics. No country has been truly dominant in volleyball, although the Soviet Union has won the most medals. Originally the Japanese had the world's best women players while the United States had the best men's team in the world throughout the 1980s.

Volleyball has now reached great heights of popularity in the United States and Brazil, largely thanks to the discipline of beach volleyball.

The beach volleyball phenomenon, although hugely visible, is still just in its infancy. From the first FIVB World Tour event just over ten years ago, to the overwhelming spectator and television success of 'Beach' at the Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, beach volleyball has opened up Volleyball to a completely new market.
