Burleigh College Case Study

On Wednesday the 30th of September, Burleigh College in Loughborough hosted an Inclusive Sports day which included a game called Seated Volleyball. This was an adapted version of Sitting Volleyball which allowed players to catch the ball and for the ball to bounce once, but was still played sat on the floor over the low net. Each team had a chance to play 2 matches and everyone seemed to enjoy getting involved.

The East Midlands Volleyball Association Disability Sport Development Officer, Richard Stacey-Chapman who helped with the event said “the day was a great success; the young people gained an idea of the movement principles of Sitting Volleyball and most importantly had a lot of fun!”
 
At the end of the event the young people were also given information about the sport to develop their knowledge and invited to the Loughborough Lions Sitting Volleyball training session which meets every Friday at 7.30pm at Loughborough College.

There is also training in the East Midlands at Lincoln on a Tuesday at 7:30.
