Bài 1: Điền Mintonette, Volleyball, Both
In 1895, William G. Morgan invented a game that combined four different sports: basketball, tennis, handball and baseball. He called this new sport 'Mintonette'. Today we still play this sport, but we call it 'volleyball'. In Mintonette, the court was 15 metres long and 7 metres wide. There could be as many players as you wanted. In modern volleyball, the court is a bit bigger – 18 metres long and 9 metres wide. There are only six players in each team. Today, a player serves the ball and the serve is good even if it slightly touches the top of the net as it goes over. In Mintonette, if the ball hit the net, the point was for the other team. Also, the players could touch the ball as many times as they wanted before passing it to the other team. In volleyball, the players can only hit the ball up to three times.
