SITTING VOLLEYBALL
Sitting volleyball is a form of volleyball for athletes with a disability. Unlike standing volleyball, sitting volleyball players must have at least one buttock in contact with the floor during the game.
This game is very versatile and can be played both indoors and outdoors!
GOALBALL
Goalball is a team sport designed specifically for athletes with a vision impairment. For this sport, able-bodied participants are blindfolded.
Participants compete in teams of five, and try to throw or roll a ball that has bells embedded inside of it into the opponents’ goal. The ball is thrown by hand and never kicked. Using ear-hand coordination, participants try to score goals by throwing it into a net behind their opponents.
