1 In this pack you will find Task Cards which are linked to the VolleySLIDE resource. These cards are can be used to aid your teaching delivery, or by participants when looking to do some theory based work. Some sample answers to the questions posed in both the resource pack and these Task Cards can be found at the end of each section. These are just to be used as a guide, they are the key points for each topic but more detailed information can be found on the internet or in books relating to the questions. TASK CARDS

If the blue 4 touches the top band of the net then the white team win the point. J. If the player serves an ace then they wins the point, her feet being over the line isn t a fault.

Ideally on your side of the net Keeping it alive is needed, technique to do so is a benefit.

11 Key teaching points: Sit in a position where you can cover a large percentage of the court. Note: It is easier to push backwards so start forward! Read the player and ball to help anticipation Relax on the contact to take speed off the ball (if hit with power) Get the ball up. High. Ideally on your side of the net Keeping it alive is needed, technique to do so is a benefit. Suggested activities are: The Pit alone or with some teammates, defenders get fed continuous balls and are challenged with getting them up/to a target. Solo A stable feed to a setter who sets an Attacker, depending on the outcome players switch positions. Multi-Spike One player continuously attacks towards a team of Blockers and Defenders. DEFENDING Attack vs D A team receives a ball and has to create an attack, the rally is then played out.

Pass Attack Using half the court a Server serves towards two Passers who Pass and then Attack back. Wash Drills Set up in a game like scenario where teams have to win a certain number of points in succession. PASSING Play a Set Decide on the points target and who serves first and off you go.

As this is where they have the most strength. Ensure that players don t lift their buttocks while Jousting, this will obviously loose them the point.

15 Key teaching points: EITHER Try to redirect the ball away from your opponent before it reaches them. OR If this is not possible, try to touch the ball second (slightly after your opponent) using as much strength as you have and push at an angle away from their centre. As this is where they have the most strength. Ensure that players don t lift their buttocks while Jousting, this will obviously loose them the point. When players compete at the net, another difference between [standing] Volleyball and Sitting Volleyball is that, as there is no jump neither player will fall away before the other. Therefore there is the potential for the ball to become trapped between two players from opposing teams. When this happens and the ball stops moving a let is played, where neither team wins a point and it is replayed. JOUSTING To win these battles, before it gets to the stage of needing a let to be played players need to think quick and act cleverly.

Key teaching points: Key features of a serve: Both buttocks are behind the base line of

heel of the hand for power along with with open fingers for control It is the only time

critical Can be underarm as well as overarm Have the an intention (e.g.

16 Key teaching points: Key features of a serve: Both buttocks are behind the base line of the court You must make the opposition play the ball Hit the ball with one hand, using the heel of the hand for power along with with open fingers for control It is the only time you control the ball completely Consistently tossing the ball to the right place is critical Can be underarm as well as overarm Have the an intention (e.g. put the ball into a space) Move onto court to your base position after serving Avoid/go over the Blockers Suggested Activities are: Target Practice Players work individually on serving to predetermined targets or spaces. SERVING Gone Fishing Teams serve against each other towards their own team mates.

Sitting Volleyball is a great sport for use in schools whether it is a wet weather lesson or an inclusive sports day.

Set the badminton net either at 1m if sat on the floor or at normal badminton height if sat in wheelchairs. Have even teams, preferably 6v6 but can be any number.

If the team who serves wins the point, the same person serves again.

17 Sitting Volleyball is a great sport for use in schools whether it is a wet weather lesson or an inclusive sports day. The sport is very flexible and a variety of forms can be played with players either being sat on the floor or in a wheelchair. BUM BALL - A GAME FOR ALL! Use a badminton court for the court markings. Set the badminton net either at 1m if sat on the floor or at normal badminton height if sat in wheelchairs. Have even teams, preferably 6v6 but can be any number. Each team has up to 3 catches to return the ball over the net. A rally is started with a Serve from behind the back service line, which is initially a two handed throw. If the team who serves wins the point, the same person serves again. Players rotate around clockwise taking it in turns to serve, however, the maximum a player can serve in a row before the team is forced to rotate is 3. The ball is allowed to bounce once during the teams 3 touches, at any point. Play to a total of 25 points or use time to control the length of matches. The aim is then to progress this very basic version of the game towards more conventional Sitting Volleyball as you feel is appropriate. Some ways of doing this are: 1. Replace the throw to start the rally with a traditional Volleyball serve. (A one-handed strike from a tossed ball.) 2. Replace the middle contact (the second one) with a volleyball shot where the ball needs to rebound off the body. 3. Enforce that the last of the contacts needs to be a hit/spike. BUMBALL

Scoresheets are provided later within these Task Cards, or you can use other scoring devices like one shown below: VolleySLIDE Other options for scoring between two teams are: Teams must win a certain number of points in a row to rotate. Teams win a double point if they win a certain type of point (e.g. a block or ace serve.) SCORING Teams must win a rally then win an additional free ball point where an easy thrown ball is given to the winning team which they must win as well. One player needs to do a certain action for the team to rotate.

If you have spare participants, why not get them to Referee, or Line Judge?

Together they control the game by authorising the Service, calling up any faults that they see and managing the Scorers and Line Judges.

When you only have 2 Line Judges they are positioned as shown above, but if you can have 4 then they all just watch 1 line each.

19 If you have spare participants, why not get them to Referee, or Line Judge? Each game can have 1 or 2 Referees (hand signals are shown on Task Card R). Together they control the game by authorising the Service, calling up any faults that they see and managing the Scorers and Line Judges. Line Judge Referee Referee They are positioned at either end of the net with the Line Judges in the corners. When you only have 2 Line Judges they are positioned as shown above, but if you can have 4 then they all just watch 1 line each. Line Judge The ready position. The Line Judges are there to predominantly watch the ball and inform the Referee whether the ball landed in, out or was touched by a player before going out. The game of Sitting Volleyball is fast, so they need to be ready as the ball can come their way at any second. LINE JUDGEING In. Out. Touched, then Out.

23 11. Make a list of some of the possible reasons why someone might need a limb amputation. Can you find out how many people experience this each year in your country? 12. Ask a friend to close their eyes - describe a volleyball shot with words and get them to mime what you are telling them to do. Or write down a description. LEVEL Make a list of the main disabilities. Could all these groups play sitting volleyball? If not how can you adapt the game so that they could play. 14. Work out how much it would cost per person to organise a match (based on how many people they would need). 15. Make a list of reasons why a coach might want to call a Time Out. 16. Watch some game play on You Tube and imagine you are one of the coaches. Stop the video and describe what you would tell your team if the other coach called a time out at that moment. 17. What safety considerations do you need if you were to design a set of cheap and easy to move sitting volleyball posts and net. 18. If you wanted to play in European tournaments, which competitions could you look to attend. THEORY HOMEWORK 19. You are a teams opposition scout. What could they need to know, how best could this be recorded? 20. Plan a sequence of activities to develop a teams Spiking. Or allow them to pick their own part of the game.
