Spike ball features elements from sports such as volleyball and four square. The game is played between two teams of two (or sometimes 3) people. One player serves the ball directly across the net to the opposing team member. The opposing team then has 3 (4 if it is a 3v3 game) hits to return the ball to the net. After the serve, there are no boundaries of play. Participants are free to run, set, and spike the ball from anywhere around the net. Play continues until a team fails to return the ball or the ball hits a rim piece, at which point the point ends, and the other team receives 1 point.
See video for how to play tutorial and tips. Stop by the Kampstore in order to check-out the game from the front desk.
