- As Seen On Shark Tank! Spikeball is played 2 on 2 with rules kinda/sorta like volleyball. As our friends at UrbanDaddy wrote, “A taut Hula Hoop-sized net is placed at ankle level between a pair of two-player teams.”
- Intense and Fast 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 (just like volleyball) to control it and bounce it back to you. When they miss, you score. First team to 21 wins.

- Volley the ball back and forth until one team can’t return it!
