● Briefly introduce Spikeball
o Spikeball is a team sport played by two teams consisting of
two players each. Opposing team members line up across
from each other with the net set in the center. A point
begins when the server hits the ball off the net towards the
opposing player facing him/her. The object of the game is
to hit the ball off the net in such a way that the opposing
team cannot successfully return it.

Learning Activity 2:
● 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
Subject/Grade: P.E. 20 3 Credit Lesson/Date: Introduction to Spikeball Time:
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.

Review of Key Concepts/Point to Next Class:

● How does the game start?

● How do you gain points?

● What are the rules on serving?

● What is the “pocket”?

● How many hits can you have?

● How many points do you need to win the game?
