Five of CHRVA's referees were rewarded by officiating at the annual Wounded Warrior Games - Sitting Volleyball Tournament held at the Pentagon November 19, 2015. Chris Cant, Ed Tucholski, Rebecca Johannes, George Hayn, and Elliot Blake, USAV Sitting Volleyball Coordinator, and I represented CHRVA during these games. USA Volleyball's John Kessel came in from Colorado to be the play-by-play color analyst. Sitting volleyball is played sitting on the floor with a lower net and smaller court. Two additions to the rules of volleyball are that teams are allowed to block or attack a served ball and the player playing the ball must have some part of their buttocks in contact with the floor.
