Three years ago paravolley did not exist in South Africa; today the country has a team to compete internationally.
It's volleyball for players with disabilities, and the South African coach, Anton Raimondo, is excited about its potential here.
"Some of the guys just sit at home in shacks. For people like that it's a huge incentive and motivation to be involved and to share experience with other physically impaired individuals," said Raimondo, who is also the founder of Paravolley South Africa.
About 10 years ago Raimondo lost a leg in a motorcycle accident in Argentina. After rehabilitation he joined a paravolley team in England, where he lived at the time. In 2012 he represented Britain at the Paralympics.
When he moved to South Africa the following year with his partner, Tina Sachs, he brought with him the sport of paravolley. The first practice was held in 2014.
Paravolley has the same rules as volleyball except that the court is smaller and the net lower.
"Able, physically impaired, male, female, and a wide range of ages can all play equally together up to national level," said Raimondo...
