Sitting Volleyball brings adaptive athletes with physical impairments and able-bodied athletes together on a level playing field to play an action-filled and motion-filled sport without limiting anyone’s abilities.

OUR PARTNERS

We have partnered with the Pennsylvania Center for Adaptive Sports (PCAS) whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of people with disabilities through inclusive sport, wellness and recreation programs.

DETAILS

• What is sitting volleyball? Watch this video on YouTube.
• Sitting volleyball is played sitting on the ground; no equipment necessary. All traditional volleyball skills apply, and you will be introduced to the game when the event starts.
• Who can play? Everyone! In fact, we could really use your participation to ensure we can play 6v6, please consider playing.
• Sitting Volleyball is also great for injured standing volleyball players.
