Sitting Volleyball is a version of volleyball especially adapted for athletes with leg disabilities, because they don't need their protheses. Introduced in 1956 it is one of the most important team sports for athletes with a disability. This sport demands determination, cooperation and good strategic thinking from the participants. Athletes with locomotor disabilities (amputations or other locomotor disabilities) are eligible to participate. In sitting volleyball the male and female athletes are not classified into classes as in other sports. However, they must fulfil the conditions of a minimum degree of disability.
