What is "sitting volleyball"?
Sitting volleyball is a sport played by athletes with physical disabilities, where players sit on the floor while trying to score points by hitting the ball over a net. The rules are similar to standing volleyball, but the players must keep their buttocks on the ground at all times. Teams consist of six players, and they work together to pass, set, and spike the ball. The game is fast-paced and requires strong teamwork, quick reflexes, and coordination, as the court is smaller than in standing volleyball, and the net is lower.
