As for the sample of the study, it has been chosen purposefully; the experimental group is represented by the players from sitting position in Ninevah who were (12) and the control group is represented by similar players in Diala and who were also (12). The loneliness scale was built and used by the researcher to collect data. Turning to the psycho-social programme, built by the researcher, it has been applied on the experimental group only. This application has been distributed on (12) sessions, (2) sessions per week. The two groups have been checked for equivalence in the variable of the study. To analyze the data, the (SPSS) statistical programme and other statistical tools have been used.

The following conclusions have been arrived at: 1- the appropriateness of loneliness scale, built by the researcher, for its effect in decreasing loneliness of volleyball players from sitting position in the experimental group . 2- there are statistical significant differences between the pre- and post-tests in loneliness of the experimental group. As for the recommendations, the most important ones are: 1- adopting the scale of loneliness for volleyball players from sitting position and trying to apply it on other activities especially in disabled sports. 2- the necessity to enlighten trainers to have interest in psychological programmes for the disabled and to develop themselves through attending training sessions from time to time. 3- the necessity of the psychological advisor presence side by side with the technical trainer in all sport teams to help players and qualify them psychologically in addition to the physical, technical, and planning qualifications.
