Sitting Volleyball: A New Sports Initiative for Military Veterans at DSUIA

NEWS, Sport for military veterans

The training session was conducted by instructors from the Department of Special Physical Training at the Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs.

Sitting volleyball is an adapted version of classic volleyball for individuals with musculoskeletal disabilities, offering the same level of excitement and competitive spirit as the original.

The game not only develops reaction speed, agility, endurance, and strength, but also the ability to navigate and adapt to constantly changing situations on the court.

Military veterans who tried their hand at sitting volleyball noted that while the game felt unusual at first, they enjoyed the training and experienced many new emotions.

The instructors leading the session emphasized that diversifying the sports and activities offered at DSUIA for rehabilitation has a significant positive impact on the emotional well-being of the players.

The training sessions are part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ “Friendly Support” project, organized by the Department of Education, Science, and Sports. #friendly_support
