HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDOne rubber ball and a solid wall
  1. 1Mark side boundaries and a service line in front of the wall. Two players enter; extra players wait in a line. Choose who serves first.
  2. 2Serve from behind the line: bounce the ball once, then hit it with an open hand directly into the wall. Players then alternate open-hand hits, sending the rebound back to the wall before its second ground bounce.
  3. 3Missing, catching the ball, allowing a second bounce, or hitting outside the boundary loses the rally. Your opponent earns one point and serves next.
  4. 4With a waiting line, the losing player goes to the back and the next person enters. Keep each player’s own score.
  5. 5Two players play first to seven points. For a group, set a ten-minute timer; finish the current rally when it rings. Highest score wins. Ties share the win.

REMIX THE RULES

Complete twists.

Cooperative openingStart by working together toward ten wall returns. A miss, second bounce, or out-of-bounds hit resets the count. Reaching ten gives both players one point. Then play competitive rallies: the player who makes the next fault loses that rally and the other scores. First to seven points wins.
