A game of basketball was originally only half an hour long. The game’s inventor, James Naismith, first proposed two fifteen minute halves, with a five-minute break in between.

The longest recorded game of volleyball was played in the Netherlands in 2011. It lasted 85 hours.

The longest game of tennis ever played at the Wimbledon Championships lasted 11 hours and was played over three days in 2010, between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut. The final set alone lasted eight hours and 11 minutes, with Isner eventually winning.

In a standard game of table tennis, the ball is struck more than 120 times per minute and can travel across the net at as much as 70 mph.

Tennis balls were originally white. The color was changed to a neon yellowish green in the 1980’s to make the ball easier to track on television.

The longest table tennis  rally in history lasted 11 hours and 50 minutes. It was played by two Australian players in Dubai in 2020.

According to history, rugby was invented during a soccer match in 1823 when a player named William Webb Ellis picked up the ball and ran with it.

Around 55,000 tennis balls are used every year during the Wimbledon Championship.
