 Special Olympics volleyball is offered in every US program and in over 30 countries
around the world.
Volleyball, invented in the United States, has wide international appeal in Special
Olympics. Take, for example, participation in the 1995 World Games:
Over 500 athletes
27 countries
23 female teams
20 male teams
11 Unified Sports® teams
Athletes in volleyball benefit from the camaraderie of a team sport, and the
athletic training enabling them to successfully serve and return a volleyball.
As in all Special Olympics sports, athletes are grouped in competition divisions
according to the athlete's ability level, age and gender.
