To play volleyball in English, you can say "play volleyball". This phrase comes from the sport's name in English, which is "volleyball". Here are a few example sentences:
"Do you want to join our volleyball team?"
"I love playing volleyball on the beach."
"My friends and I play volleyball every weekend."
The term "volleyball" was first used in 1895 when William G. Morgan, a YMCA physical education director, created a new game called "Mintonette" as a combination of tennis and handball. The game was initially intended to be played indoors, but soon it was adapted to be played on the beach, and the name was changed to "volleyball" to reflect the way players hit the ball back and forth over the net.
