Subject: Spikeball Unit 20
This unit focuses on learning the skills, strategies, and rules of the Spikeball, which consists of
focusing on specific skills, such as striking the ball towards specific targets, receiving the ball,
running towards the ball, and teamwork skills. Students will be assessed based on participation
and effort (P.E.), cooperation, leadership, attitude, and sportsmanship (C.L.A.S), and
application, skills, and knowledge (A.S.K). The unit focuses on helping each other to create a
positive environment for everyone, while ensuring that students are being safe by following the
safety standards or expectations set by the teacher, while working towards leading an active

A team is allowed up to three Students should not be in
touches to return the ball onto the way while games are
the net. Once the ball is played happening
off the net, possession switches
to the opposing team. The rally
continues until a team is unable
to legally return the ball. Players
may move as they wish during a
point, so long as they do not
physically impede the
opponents' play on the ball.
Spikeball Passing
Demonstration
Get students to partner up.
Teacher will demonstrate
Hantis' passing with another
student. You will start with
striking the ball with the palm
of your hand to pass it to the
other hand, then you pass the
ball to your partner. Then your
partner will have two hits before
they pass it to you again.
Progression: Passing while
moving.
Serving Demonstration
Demonstrate to players how to
properly serve in Spikeball.
Players have to be 6 feet away
from the net. When they serve
the ball has to be served over
above the knee of the opponents
and it can not pass above their
highest reaching point. Each
player can serve two times if
they fail in their first attempt.
When you gain a point off a
serve, you switch sides with
your partner and serve from the
other side
Serving Practice
Let students practice serving
with the nets.
Spikeball Game
An official match will be the
best 2 out of 3 games. Games 1
and 2 will be played to 15
points. Game 3, if necessary
will be played to 11. Only the
serving team can score points.
Teams MUST win by 2 points.
Scoring: Points can be won by
the serving team. Games 1 and 2
are played to 15 points. Game 3,
if necessary, is played to 11.
Games must be won by 2 points.
The rally ends and a point is
awarded when: The ball
contacts the ground or otherwise
isn't returned on the net within 3
touches. The ball is hit directly
into the rim at any time,
including on a serve. The ball
bounces and falls back onto the
net or rim. The ball clearly rolls
across the net. Serving: If the
receiving team wins the point,
the next designated player
serves according to the initial
sequence. Otherwise, the server
switches places his/her partner
and serves to the other receiving
team member. The server stands
directly across from the
designated receiver, who is the
only player allowed to field the
serve. “Recreational Serve
Rule” Applies. This means that
the serve must be reasonably
playable by the receiver. The
receiving team can call a service
fault* on the following: The ball
is out of the receivers reach. The
ball hits a pocket. The ball hits
the rim. A service fault results
in a re-serve and no point is
awarded. An unlimited number
of service faults may be called
until a playable ball is served.
The receiving team must call a
service fault before, or without
attempting to return the serve.
Once the serve is returned, a
service fault cannot be called.
Rallies: Touches must alternate
between teammates.
Consecutive touches by one
player result in a loss of point.
The ball must be contacted
cleanly, not caught, lifted, or
thrown. Players may not hit the
ball with two hands, even if
placed together “volleyball
style”. Players may use any
individual part of their body to
hit the ball. If the ball is hit
directly into the net, or bounces
and lands back on the net or
rim, the rally ends and the non-
hitting team wins the point.
After the serve, any unusual
bounce (i.e. pocket) that does
not contact the rim is legal and
playable. A shot which lands on
the net, rolls into the rim and
then off the net (i.e.. roll-up) is
played as a pocket, not a direct
rim hit. If teams cannot
determine the legality of a hit,
replay the point.

Get two students to be taggers
first. The goal of the game is to
tag players by doing a Spikeball
hit to another student. When
they get hit, they will join the
taggers. Have the taggers wear
pinnies. When you get hit, you
will grab a pinnie and join the
taggers. Modification: If it is
too hard, start by throwing first
with a dodgeball.

Tweener is when a player goes
over the net and hits the ball in
between their legs and if they
get a point it will be 5 points.
