SITTING DOWN VOLLEYBALL<\/strong>: It’s a seated game of fast flowing action.<\/p>\n

The floor-based sport is most enjoyed by disabled and non-disabled players. They compete with and against each other at club level in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

There is no shortage of opportunities for men and women to play. Many sports centers offer sitting down volleyball rules in England.<\/p>\n

Of course, there is an obvious competitive angle to the sport. But players also enjoy the social and recreational rewards. It is an opportunity to meet new people and keep active – much like its Olympic counterpart.<\/p>\n

Sitting volleyball games get played seated on the ground. Yet, it may surprise some supporters and fans to learn that many players are ambulant. That means they are able to walk standing up.<\/p>\n

Some team members have severe physical conditions. That prevents them from competing in ‘non-disabled<\/strong>‘ stand up volleyball rules<\/a> and regulations. Even so, it is not uncommon to see ‘disabled<\/strong>‘ players scoring and then standing up in a cheery fit of celebration.<\/p>\n

Seated Volleyball Court Dimensions<\/h5>\n

The playing area includes a playing court and the free zone. It should be rectangular in shape and symmetrical.<\/p>\n

Sitting volleyball rules gets played on a court measuring 10 x 6 meters. The free zone surround should be at least 3 meters wide on all sides.<\/p>\n

The net should be 80cm deep and set to an international height from the ground. That net height should be 1.15 meters for men and 1.05 meters for women.<\/p>\n

In general, seated volleyball rules are faster games than the indoor Olympic counterpart. The main reason is due to the lower net height.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
