Spikeball

I'm a big Spikeball fan, and I see it's listed here, but nowhere else on Wiki. I'd like to remove the re-direct to this page and create it's own wikipage. Does anyone have an issue with this? Please let me know. StickerMug (talk) 18:24, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'Community Rules' volleyball

I have not been able to find any suitable references to this variation, but I have played it with a number of groups in the UK. Others might have played it, or similar, under different names. So it might actually be quite widespread.

I think the intention is to allow participation by players of very different abilities. I have seen this include very small children, and adults carrying children.

Characteristic rules:

underhand serves only (though what counts as underhand seems to be a bit open to interpretation),
2 attempts at serving as in tennis,
people having particular difficulty at serving, or for their first serve in a session, can have extra goes, stand close to the net, throw rather than hit, etc,
no hitting straight back: at least 2 hits of the ball before it goes back over the net, (so no blocking),
the usual no 2 consecutive hits by the same person,
any number of hits allowed by the one team, by any team member, before returning the ball (theoretically this includes any number of hits by people outside the court, so a ball hit wildly in the wrong direction could be recovered),
players rotate so they get a chance in all the positions,
after a game the players rearrange into different teams for next game,
players can enter or leave the game at any point (though probably between points).

The "no hitting straight back" rule can put players who are good at more normal volleyball at disadvantage, as they can find it difficult to inhibit their normal reflexes, thus 'leveling the field' a bit. FrankSier (talk) 16:56, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
