Volleyball was first created by William G. Morgan in 1895. Since that time it has since become one of the most popular team sports in the world.
At St. Paul's High School, the game has been played since the 1940s at both the intramural and competitive level, with hundreds of boys having joined the teams to make for a successful athletic program.
This exhibition explores the creation of the sport in 1895 and the original concept of the game which differs so greatly from the play of today. From there the history of volleyball in Canada and Manitoba are highlighted to situate the wider experiences of the sport and its influences on the game at St. Paul's High School.
Welcome to the exhibition, Crusaders Volleyball, which celebrates St. Paul's High School's dynamic volleyball history. To navigate through the exhibition sections click the "Next" button at the bottom of each page or click on the section heading in the Exhibition Index at the left of the page.
This virtual exhibition was created to supplement the exhibition, Crusaders Volleyball, which was installed at the high school in October 2018. Both exhibitions explore the introduction and development of the sport at the high school and the successful program that has resulted.
