Dr. Thalsday of Springfield City College named it volleyball, which means "flying ball in the air". Around 1900, volleyball was introduced from the United States to Canada. In 1905, volleyball was introduced to Cuba, Brazil, China and other countries, becoming a fashionable sport that was popular in America at that time. During the First World War from 1914 to 1918, volleyball was popularized and widely developed in France, Italy, the Soviet Union, Poland and other countries, and the rules of volleyball were constantly improved in the process of development.
