GAME TYPE - Four team game.
WHO'S IT FOR - Group Three. You need at least three players per team.
WHAT YOU NEED - Two movable volleyball nets, an extra pole or two, and a volleyball.
HOW TO PLAY:
- Set up the court. Put a pole in the middle. Set up the nets so the middle is tied to the pole, and the ends make a ninety degree angle to each other, creating four equal quadrants. Alternately, you can have two poles in the middle and wrap the nets behind them.
- Each team goes to a quadrant.
- The serving team must serve the ball into the quadrant that is directly across diagonally. After that, the ball can go anywhere.
- After the serve, each team has three tries to get the ball over the net. One player cannot hit the ball twice in a row.
- If the ball hits the ground, or if a player commits a foul such as hitting the ball twice in a row, their team gets a point.
- If the ball goes out of bounds, the team that hit it out of bounds gets a point.
- The serving team keeps serving until they get a point, at which point the next team to the left serves. Alternately, you can set a five serve limit before they must pass.
- Players rotate the serve whenever it is their team's turn to serve.
- Once a team reaches 15 points, the game is over. The team with the lowest point total is the winner.
This game requires a lot of focus becauser the ball could be coming from anywhere. Players will learn how to fake each other out, so make sure everyone is paying attention.
THIS WORKS ON - Athletic ability (volleyball skills), competition (playing against three other teams), observational skills (paying attention to the ball), teamwork (playing as a team)
