Greetings

Friedhelm Julius Beucher Präsident des Deutschen Behindertensportverbandes (DBS) President of National Paralympic Committee Germany

Ladies and Gentlemen, dear sports friends!

I cordially welcome you to the European Sitting Volleyball Championships in Warendorf.

About 150 athletes from twelve nations will compete at the city of horse not only to achieve the titles of the European Champions but also to qualify for the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. As a sport rich in tradition and as a part of the Paralympic Games from 1980, sitting volleyball sets high demands on strategy a high degree of interaction and physical exertion and promises top-class sport with spectacular competitions. The Federal Sports School of the German Armed Forces of Warendorf provides ideal competition conditions for the athletes and ensures an appealing atmosphere.

The European Sitting Volleyball Championships is the second major event organized by the National Paralympic Committee Germany in this year. Our special thanks go to the Federal Ministry of defense and the federal minister Dr. Ursula von der Leyen, who has taken over the patronage of this 2015, and the Federal Sports School of the German Armed Forces of Warendorf, who supports us in the organization and implementation of these European Championships, as well as to the Ministry of Family, Children, Youth, Culture and Sports of the state of North -Westphalia, who supports us financially,as well as to our partners and sponsors.

An essential part for the successful organisation of such a major event are the numerous voluntary helpers who I would like to explicitly include in our words of thanks.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Sportfreundinnen und Sportfreunde!

Ich begrüße Sie ganz herzlich zu den Europameisterschaften im Sitzvolleyball der Herren für Menschen mit Behinderung in Warendorf. Etwa 150 Sportler aus zwölf Nationen wollen in der Stadt des Pferdes den Europameistertitel erringen und Medaillen gewinnen. Ebenso geht es bei einer der größten Behindertensportveranstaltungen in Deutschland in diesem Jahr um einen begehrten Qualifikationsplatz für die Paralympischen Spiele 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. Sitzvolleyball gehört seit 1980 zum Programm der Paralympischen Spiele und verspricht vor allem durch seine hohen Anforderungen an Strategieverständnis, einem hohen Maß an Zusammenspiel und körperlicher Anstrengung interessante Spiele und hochklassigen Sport. Die Sportschule der Bundeswehr in Warendorf bietet den Sportlerinnen und Sportlern ideale Wettkampfbedingungen und sorgt für eine ansprechende Atmosphäre im Kampf um die Platzierungen und Medaillen. Der DBS richtet mit der EM im Sitzvolleyball der Herren eine zweite Großveranstaltung neben der WM Bogensport in diesem Jahr aus. Unser besonderer Dank geht an das Bundesministerium der Verteidigung. Zum einen wegen der Zusage von Frau Bundesministerin der Verteidigung Frau Dr. von der Leyen, MdB, die Schirmherrschaft über diese – für uns elementar wichtige Veranstaltung - zu übernehmen. Zum anderen aufgrund der herausragenden Unterstützung der Sportschule Warendorf bei der Organisation und Durchführung dieser sehr kurzfristig übernommenen EM, ebenso wie an das Ministerium für Familie, Kinder, Jugend, Kultur und Sport des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, die uns finanziell unterstützt haben und nicht zuletzt an unsere Partner und Sponsoren. Ein unverzichtbarer Baustein für die erfolgreiche Organisation einer solchen Großveranstaltung sind jedoch die zahlreichen freiwilligen Helferinnen und Helfer, sie beziehe ich ausdrücklich in unseren Dank mit ein.

Dear participating teams!

During the week ParaVolley Europe is going to discuss with each nation personally about the development of sitting volleyball. We wish to hear your ideas and hope you can share your experiences and knowledge with us in order to develop our sport further and make it more fascinating among young people, beginners and other partners. Please read the following information and you will get the idea what we are working on.

Introduction to Small Sided Games

ParaVolley Europe (PVE) and VolleySLIDE (VS) are in discussions with World ParaVolley about the implementation of a small sided game to be used for low level competitions to aid the development of new Sitting Volleyball players. It is planned that this small sided game will be of particular use for junior athletes (15 to 21 years of age).

The long term plan is to develop a full pathway of modified games so that younger players can move through the various formats ending up in the 6 v 6 game with a full range of the required technical skills.

To confirm, the concept and motive behind the use of small sided games is a reduced num- ber of players = a higher number of ball contacts, and consequently learning opportunities.

With this questionnaire we hope to learn what formats (smaller than the traditional 6 v 6) you are using or you would prefer to use within your country, both for training and com- petition.

We thank you in advance for your assistance with this, but as you can understand it is to everyone’s advantage to have a standard approach across the whole world.

According to information that we will collect from the participating nations of the men’s and women’s European Championships in 2015 we will write a summary which will be published on the PVE and VS website in the end of 2015.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.
