Volleyball Academy

Volleyball was invented in 1895 by American professor William Morgan, who was working at the YMCA branch in Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA. The sport’s inception date is February 9, 1895.

In Greece, volleyball was introduced in 1919 by YMCA Thessaloniki which served as the gateway for the sport to Thessaloniki and the entire country.

In the 1921 championship, four teams participated. Records from that time show that the final was between Panathinaikos and Ethnikos G.S. YMCA organized the matches due to the wartime conditions prevailing at that time. YMCA took the initiative to conduct sports events with the consent of the entities and was the only organization in Greece with the expertise to carry out such a mission in 1921.

The volleyball department of YMCA Thessaloniki now boasts a century of history, having produced outstanding athletes and achieved significant distinctions and titles.

With a focus on quality, new methods, and expertise gained from its long history, the YMCA Thessaloniki Volleyball Academies operate at the highest level, promoting amateur sports and all its ideals!

YMCA Thessaloniki maintains teams in all age categories, guided by esteemed coaches and trainers. Both the men’s and women’s teams compete in the A2 national category.
