Today in class we participated in an activity called, sitting volleyball, a form of volleyball that is played in the Paralympic Games. (Olympic style games for athletes with disabilities.) This activity helped me understand the fundamental skills that are needed for disabled players to participate in athletic activities. Some of the adaptations made for this game were lowering the net, decreasing the team sizes, changing the court sizes and changing the way players moved on the court.

Even though, I understand the majority of the rules and skills needed to play volleyball, I still had to modify some of my cognitive movements and body movements. From my experience, I found that that sitting volleyball was much faster than regular volleyball.
