holding

Japanese: holding
holding

...A type of ball game. Two teams of six (or nine) players hit the ball over a net with their hands or arms, trying not to let it drop to the floor of the court. Due to the arm movements when hitting the ball, the positioning of the players on the court, and hitting the ball back from their own court to the opponent's court, it was once called "haikyu" (volleyball), using the character "hai" (pile), which means "to push open with the hand," "to line up," or "to remove."
【history】
It was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan (1870-1942), physical education director at the YMCA in Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA.
