How to play:
•
1 assembled Round Net set and ball
•
4 players (two teams of two)
•
Beach, backyard or playground or school
Teams:
Two teams of Two (four total). Each team starts on opposite
sides of the net. Standing at least 5 feet from the net, Team One
serves by tossing the ball in the air, and spiking
it down on the net towards Team Two. Team Two has up to 3 hits
(i.e., 'sets' in volleyball) between them before they must spike it back
on the net. (Note: You do NOT have to use all 3 hits. ) This continues
as a volley until one team cannot return the ball. Use rally scoring to
21. To determine who serves first, teams should
volley for serve.
Important:
Once the ball is in play, there are no longer "sides".
Players can run anywhere they want. Teams switch serving sides
once a team reaches 11 points.
Scoring:
1st team to 21 wins (must win by two points). Use rally scoring. If
your teams served, and the other team cannot return your shot,
you've
won a point.
▪
To avoid contact, the opposing team must always try to get out of
the way of the 'hitting' team. If someone is in the way, it's called a
'hinder' and the point is to be replayed.
▪
If your shot hits the rim, it's called a 'Rimmer' and the other team
gets a point.
▪
If your shot hits a 'pocket' (a shot that sort of hits the rim and sort
of hits the net) you keep playing the point. If there is disagreement
as to whether it was a 'Rimmer' or a 'Pocket', you should replay
the point.
▪
If the ball does not bounce off the net with a single bounce, it is
the other team's point. It must clear the rim to be good.
▪
Body shots are legal. You cannot keep juggling the ball w your
feet or hit it numerous times on your body. 1 body shot and then
it must go to your partner or on the net. This rule has caused quite
a bit of controversy on the Round Net Game circuit. Proceed at
