The Volleyball (sitting) event was introduced at the Arnhem 1980 Paralympics. Athletes from 48 countries practice the sport. A high level of teamwork, skill, strategy and intensity is needed in Volleyball. Each team's goal is to pass the ball over the net and to touch the ball on the ground of the opposing team's side. Male and female athletes with a physical disability are eligible to participate and must fulfill the conditions of a minimum degree of disability.
