Well, is widely known Tennis started in the First World War, when a german soldier threw a grenade at a british one.
Then the british threw it back...then the german... Voleyball originated the same way, only with taller soldiers involved.

I just learned from my digital dictionary that the German name for the game is harmless, compared to the American version of it:
Völ|ker|ball m game for two teams where the object is to hit an opponent with a ball and thus put him out of the game, È dodgeball (Brit), È warball (US) © Langenscheidt KG, Berlin und München und HarperCollins Publishers Ltd
