This paper begins with a brief history of the creation of the game of volleyball and its beginnings at the very end of the 19th century. Its creator William Geroge Morgan originally gave it the name minonette, but later the name volleyball was recognized. In addition to the development of volleyball in the world, it is also talked about the development of volleyball in Croatia and the sport clubs and competitions that were played at the time. Volleyball consists of several elements that need to be learned in order to play volleyball. These are the volleyball stance, serve, set, pass, attack, block, field defense and counterattack. Each element is explained in detail in the paper. The standard rules of the game of volleyball are listed and explained so that the adaptations made in the rules of mini and small volleyball can be seen, which were done so that children can also play volleyball. Children learn volleyball elements in schools according to the Curriculum. They start learning one of the elements for the first time in the fourth grade. Schools also offer students the opportunity to practice volleyball as part of extracurricular activities. The benefits of playing sports as an extracurricular activity are explained in the paper.
