Background. Sitting volleyball is one of the fastest growing disciplines of sport for people with movement impairments. In contrast to other team games, sitting volleyball has no division into start classes. Players are divided into those with minimum disability – MD (one player with minimum disability may be on the court) and athletes with movement impairments – D. The aim of this study was to evaluate the medical classification system in sitting volleyball based on National Polish players’ opinion. Material and methods. Nineteen people (12 men, 7 women) were examined during a sport camp (24th–27th April 2014). A diagnostic survey method was performed (10 personal questions, 16 concern classification system in sitting volleyball). Respondents were asked about their opinions on the current classification system of athletes with disabilities in sitting volleyball and possibility of playing with able-bodied athletes. Results. The current classification system has been assessed as “good” by 47.4% of respondents. Most of the athletes (73.7%) opted for a change in the medical classification system to a functional one. Most of the respondents (63.2%) were opposed to playing able-bodied with disabled athletes. Conclusion. The results confirmed the need for changes in the classification system of disabled athletes in sitting volleyball. However these changes of classification system require further verification of the scientific research.
