Even though it’s getting chilly outside, there’s always a great opportunity to play some booyah new yard games. A game that might be new to many of you is SPIKEBALL!
I first learned of the game this summer while at Sharptop Cove. It’s an intense mix between four square and volleyball, described on the Spikeball web site as “A taut Hula Hoop-sized net is placed at ankle level between a pair of two-player teams. You smack the palm-sized ball down on the net so it ricochets up at your opponents. They have up to three hits between them to control it and bounce it back to you. When they miss, you score. First team to 21 wins.”
