Volleyball at the Summer Paralympics

Volleyball at the Summer Paralympics was first held in 1976, when the traditional form of standing volleyball for men was contested and sitting volleyball for men was a demonstration sport. From 1980 through 2000, men's standing and sitting events were contested.[1] The women's sitting volleyball event was introduced in 2004.
