Looking for a new fun activity to do with friends in the summer? Spikeball is just the right game to turn those long, boring days into a fun-filled, action-packed day. Spikeball is an easy game to learn that offers many benefits, including great exercise, improved mental health, and an exciting, social experience! I personally love to play this game with friends, especially on a nice day outside when you get to spend the day together. This is an affordable activity that only requires a Spikeball net and the special balls included in the package.
Spikeball is played with two teams of two players around a small circular net. Players serve the ball onto the net, and the opposing team has up to three touches to return it. Teams can move freely around the net during play, and points are scored when the other team fails to return the ball, hits the rim, or breaks a rule. Games are usually played to 11, 15, or 21 points and must be won by two points.
To give an example of how the game goes, senior journalist Caitlyn Valdez and I played a quick round to show what to expect.
