Sitting volleyball is a discipline of the sport in which athletes play in a seated position. The sitting game utilizes the same volleyball skills and techniques as the standing game with a few key rule differences. Players use both their arms and legs to move across the court, and it’s a physical, fast-paced game. USA Volleyball is the official National Governing Body for sitting volleyball.

Sitting volleyball has been part of the Paralympic Games since the men’s competition debuted at the Arnhem Games in 1980 (USA Volleyball).
