The Postal Service captured the action of volleyball, softball, bowling, golf, and tennis, with the issuance of five 32-cent Recreational Sports commemorative stamps on May 20, 1995 in Jupiter, Florida, at the annual Stamporee stamp show. The Recreational Sports stamps, designed by Don Weller of Park City, Utah, went on sale nationwide on May 22.
Three of the five stamps specifically commemorate the hundredth anniversaries of the invention of volleyball, the development of golf's national championships, and establishment of the American Bowling Congress.
The stamps in sheets of 20 (5 designs), were printed by the Banknote Corporation of America in the offset process.
