IBAG Sitting Volleyball Tournament 2011
Thursday 8th December 2011 (tbc)
Objective
In conjunction with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), annually observed on 3rd December, the objective of the IBAG Sitting Volleyball Tournament is to engage firms across Canary Wharf and the city to take part in a fun inclusive activity that is accessible to all. In doing so you will be raising awareness of a Paralympics’ sport which will be played at London 2012, while also raising vital funds for Whizz-Kidz who provide disabled children and young people with the right mobility equipment, training and skills at the right time.
What is sitting volleyball?
- Sitting volleyball is just like volleyball but with a few differences:
- 6 players per team (plus one reserve)
- Buttocks must remain on the floor
- Blocking a serve is permitted
- Court is 10m x 6m
- Net is 1.5 metres high
Why get involved?
There are six key benefits your organisation getting involved:
Possible engagement with clients of your business

Brand alignment with a national children’s charity and national sporting governing body to promote your firm’s corporate responsibility
Raise vital funds for disabled children and young people
Raise awareness of a London 2012 Paralympics’ sport
Changing people’s perception of disability and focussing on what disabled people can do rather than can’t do
