OneAbility Games

We’re excited to look back at some of our favourite moments from each of the sport stations in the PLAY Stream at the inaugural OneAbility Games.

Next up: Sitting Volleyball

Participants had the chance to try sitting volleyball, learning the basics of the sport while developing their passing, serving, communication, and teamwork skills. With everyone playing from a seated position, the court became a space where participants could experience volleyball in a new way, challenge themselves, and have fun together.

A huge thank you to our incredible partners Volleyball BC and VBC Sitting Volleyball for helping make this experience possible. Your support, expertise, and commitment to inclusive sport helped create a welcoming environment where every participant could get involved, try something new, and discover the fun of sitting volleyball.

We’re so grateful to Volleyball BC for being part of the inaugural OneAbility Games and helping us introduce more young people to the possibilities of inclusive sport.
