Sit down volleyball and beeper ball offer opportunities to place all your students, disabled and able bodied, at the same level during game play. The rules of these two Para-Olympic sports will be covered along with game play tactics, teaching suggestions, and strategies for facilitating mentorship relationships among able bodied and disabled students. We will also provide overview of adaptations made to more traditional sports to create an equitable playing experience in these sports as well.
