Sitting volleyball have you got what it takes?

It's fast, furious, competitive — and played with your posterior in full contact with the ground. Welcome to the sport of sitting volleyball. Adapted from volleyball to allow anyone to take part — including people with a disability — sitting volleyball has been a Paralympic sport since 1980. When hitting or attacking the ball, the player must have one buttock or an extension of the torso still in contact with the floor. Because of the game's quick pace, the use of your hands to move and play the ball, good balance and a sturdy bottom are a necessity. Now The University of Nottingham Department of Physical Recreation and Sport have joined forces with Volleyball England and the Students' Union Volleyball Club to bring the sport to University Park. Students, staff and members of the public are welcome to give the game a go at a Sitting Volleyball session, taking place at the University Park Sports Centre on Sunday November 15.
