Ecua-volley is a variant of volleyball invented and played in Ecuador. Its official name is Ecuavoley, however it can be informally be called ecuavolley, ecuavoly, ecuabol, or simply boly. Its popularity has also spread to Colombia, the United States, and Europe.
==History== The beginning of this variant volleyball game needs to be clarified. It is believed that some type of game similar to this already existed prior to European contact. While it is adherent that volleyball was invented in 1895, and the first world tournaments were held 1949, organized tournaments of ecuavolley were held in 2000, suggesting it could not have spread throughout the world that quickly, which would mean that the national volley game was developed independently and had a convergent evolution. Ecuavoley tournaments in neighborhoods were held by different organization since 1944.
