The London 2012 Paralympics Sitting Volleyball competition takes part at the ExCeL exhibition centre in the River Zone from Thursday 30 August until Saturday 8 September. The rules of Sitting Volleyball are very similar to the regular sport: two teams of six play on a 10m by 6m court divided by a net (1.15m high for men, 1.05m for women) and have three touches (in addition to a legal block) to get the ball back across the net and, hopefully, to land it in the opposition's half of the court. Matches are the best of five sets (the first to 25 points) with a deciding fifth set played to 15 points, with a margin of at least two points always required for victory. Men's Sitting Volleyball has been on the Paralympic programme since 1980, while the women's event was added in 2004.
