8/5/07: On August 5th, teams gathered from all over Vermont on a muddy field in Essex for a day of mud volleyball.
It was the 18th Annual Mud Volleyball Tournament and the proceeds benefited The Epilepsy Foundation of VT.
The Town of Essex provided the field and the firetrucks which poured over 160,000 gallons of water into the parched earth.
The mud was fragrant and spiced with manure. Frogs kept the volleyball players company in the pits.
Did you know that mud can creep into your most intimate crevices and days after the event, the pesky substance continues to seep out slowly? Eek.

Sitting Volleyball is a version of volleyball especially adapted for athletes with leg disabilities, because they don’t need their protheses. Introduced in 1956 it is one of the most important team sports for athletes with a disability. This sport demands determination, cooperation and good strategic thinking from the participants. Athletes with locomotor disabilities (amputations or other locomotor disabilities) are eligible to participate. In sitting volleyball the male and female athletes are not classified into classes as in other sports. However, they must fulfil the conditions of a minimum degree of disability.
