  1. Sitting VolleyballRules

  2. Volleyball Rules • 3 Touches – Pass, Set, Spike • 6 Players • Same player can’t touch it twice in a row (except after a block) • Play sets to 25 points (2 clear points) • Score on every point • Serve rotates when a team wins a point from the oppositions serve. • Libero (different colour shirt) – Back court specialist. Used similar to a rolling sub.

  3. Sitting Volleyball Adaptations • Sitting volleyball characteristics • Smaller court and lower net • Quicker play • Most rules are the same/similar to Indoor Volleyball • A few but important ‘special’ rules

  4. Playing Area • Court • 6m x 10m

  5. The net and posts • Net height • 1.15 metres for men • 1.05 metres for women • 1.10 metres for domestic mixed competition • 1.00 metres for juniors (can vary) • Posts • For serious competition posts should be secured to the ground (ideally attached)

  6. Contact with the court rule • At all times during playing actions the players must contact the court with some part of the body between the buttocks and the shoulders • To stand up, raise the body or take steps is forbidden.

  7. Block • To block an opponent’s serve is permitted • It is allowed to complete an attack hit on the opponent’s service when the ball is in the front zone and fully above net height • When completing a block, the players are not allowed to lift their buttocks from the floor • This includes a collective block, even if the player lifting does not contact the ball

  8. Contact with the opponent’s court • Contact with the opponent’s court with any part of the body is permitted… • …providing that it does not interfere with the opponent’s play

  9. Double fault at the net • If simultaneous hits by opponents at the net lead to a ‘catch’, it is a double fault and the rally is replayed • However, a short ‘catch’ is permitted if the extended contact does not interrupt the continuity of the action

  10. Net contact • Contact with the top band when in the action of playing the ball is a fault • Contact with the net when in the action of playing the ball which significantly distorts the shape of the net is a fault • Other contact with the net is not a fault

  11. Rotations • A team rotates (clockwise) when they regain the serve • Each front row player must have at least part of his/her buttocks closer to the centre line than the buttocks of the corresponding back row player • Each right (left) side player must have at least part of his/her buttocks closer to the right (left) side line than the buttocks of the centre player in that row

  12. Other ‘Useful’ Things to Note • When serving the buttocks must be behind the line • Players are not allowed padded shorts! • Only front court players can hit the ball from the front court • Usually 2 referees

  13. Working with Athletes with a Disability

  14. Needs of a sitting volleyball player • Player first, disability second • Encourage self-sufficiency but do be sensitive to specific needs: • Terminology • Mannerisms • Body posture • Each player must adapt to their own disability: • Not every movement is the same • Adapt technique to the disability

  19. The Classification Process • A process where athletes with disabilities are classified into groups in accordance to their physical and function ability • Minimally disabled • Disabled • Formal process • Sport specific • Who can do it? • Doctor • Physiotherapist
