Discover Air Volleyball, one of China’s newest and fastest‑growing sports with Cardiff Confucius Institute Tutor, Shaorong Lin
Shaorong Lin from Cardiff Confucius Institute will take you on a discovery of one of China’s newest and fastest‑growing sports! Air Volleyball was invented in the 1980s by Chinese retirees who wanted a fun and safe way to stay active. Today, it’s loved by people of all ages — from seniors to students.
In this session, you’ll learn how this unique version of volleyball uses a softer, lighter ball and a smaller court, making it easier and safer to play. We’ll explore its origins, rules, and cultural background — and even try a few simple moves together!
Join us to experience how this inclusive and energetic sport connects health, teamwork, and modern Chinese culture.
