BALL At the time of volleyball’s creation there were no balls that would completely fit the bill as Morgan needed. Originally players and teams used volleyballs that were created with the bladder that a basketball used. The bladder of a basketball however proved to be too slow in the air because of its lack of weight. Some players tried using makeshift balls by substituting basketballs. Again- this didn’t work too well because the balls were too heavy to maintain air like they needed. In the end, Morgan approached A.G. Spalding and Brothers to ask them to custom-make a ball that would be the official volleyball. At the time Spalding was a huge name in the world of baseball. They were the ones that had the expertise to create a new ball that worked for the needs of this newer game.
