Spikeball uses rally scoring, so points can be won by either team regardless of who is serving. The rally or volley continues until one team cannot return the ball into the net. Each time the ball hits the net possession switches to the other team. It is not required that you hit the ball all 3 times. Each team is allowed up to 3 touches in order to return the ball into the net.

If they cannot return the serve then the serving team gets a point. The goal on the serve is to hit the ball towards the opposing team in a manner where they cannot return it. The serving team hits the ball into the net towards the opposing team. To begin, teams line up across from each other with the Spikeball new or roundnet in between them. It is typically a four-player game with two teams of two players each (or 2 by 2), however, it can now be played with a larger net on the Spikeball Rookie kit which includes a 50% larger net and a larger ball for those players that are younger or just starting out. Spikeball is a combination of volleyball and foursquare and can be very competitive and challenging. Read more below for all the in-depth rules. This will get you started on this action-packed game. Spikeball is played to 21 points and your team has to win by 2 points.

If you mess up and don't hit it back into the net the other team gets the point. Then the next team gets to it around up to 3 times and so forth.
