USA Sitting Volleyball

USA Sitting Volleyball is a Paralympic sport designed for athletes with physical disabilities, played while seated on the floor. The game closely resembles standing volleyball but has modifications such as a lower net (there are two versions: sitting and standing) and a smaller court. Players must maintain contact with the floor at all times, emphasizing stability and skill. It promotes inclusive competition, teamwork, and athletic excellence. The sport is governed by the same basic rules as traditional volleyball, with some adaptations to accommodate sitting play. It’s an exciting, fast-paced sport showcasing strength, agility, and strategy.
