How can I let people join my minecraft server from diffrent versions?

I've seen multiple servers where you can connect from any (recent) major version. (Example, 1.9, 1.8 OR 1.7) And they all seem to be able to do it. Alas, a simple google search did not fix the problem. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

(PS: The Minecraft server is running on the latest Spigot for 1.10 as of 6/27/16)

Usually this is done with a (potentially modified) version of BungeeCord with multiple spigot servers runnning 1.7.10, 1.8.9, 1.9 and 1.10. Look into doing it that way - but you'll need a lot of resources to run multiple servers.
