It is a competition staged for the top three teams of the just concluded National Para Sports that was recently held in Abuja this year, with Lagos State Sitting Volleyball team to make the total number to be four as
the host state.
Chairman, Legacy Volleyball Club, who is also a board member in Lagos State Volleyball Association, Mr.Kayode Ladele, said the essence of the tournament is to encourage sporting activities among Nigeria’s physically challenged population.

“Sitting Volleyball is not a new game but just finding its feet in Nigeria, the sport has been in existence for a long time. Sitting Volleyball requires almost the same techniques as the normal volleyball except that the game is played by the physically challenged person’s,” Ladele stated.
