Pronunciation varies by accent · noun
A sport somewhat similar to volleyball but played sitting down (and thus suitable for people with disabilities or amputations that diminish their capacity to stand)..
The sitting variant of volleyball was developed initially in the Netherlands, adapted from a German sport played on the floor: sitzball, also called fistball (De Haan, 1986). To create a more dynamic game, in the 1950s, under the auspice of the society of Dutch Military War Victims, sitzball and volleyball were combined into sitting volleyball (SV) (De Haan, 1986). The most significant benchmarks in SV development are the organisation of the first international SV tournament[.]
