Product Information

Launched in 2008, Spikeball has become a global phenomenon, selling more than 43 million units in sales. These players may eventually want to spend a little extra on a high-quality Spikeball set, but not just yet. We and our partners use data for Personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development. Players initially line up around a small trampoline-like net at the start of a point and starts with a serve from one team to another. The basic serve is rarely used in high-level games and tournaments, because of how easy the serve is to receive.

The company manufactures equipment for the game, [3] and so "spikeball" became a common name for the game. If you’ve got a group of 4 friends, a Spikeball net and ball, and a lot of space, you’ve got the perfect setup for Spikeball. The legs have a non-slip feature which allows you to set up and play the game on any surface without having to worry about it slipping around.

It is when the player tosses the ball and hits the ball with top spin, which makes the ball go shooting forward at the receiver. After watching the World Dodgeball Championships or the College Cornhole Championships, you may think you’ve seen it all on TV. Moreover, it needs a few pieces of equipment—an inflated ball and the set—that makes it easily affordable. Despite newer models and options being available, we still feel confident that this product is one of the best choices, and therefore have included it in The Best Tailgate Games for Outdoor Parties, The Best Lawn Games, and The Best Beach Toys. Scoring in roundnet is dictated by "rally scoring", meaning that a team may earn a point whether they are serving or not.

However, if they’re left too flat, they’ll land with a thud, so finding the “fullness” sweet spot is key. The foldable feet allow the playing net to move instead of break on impact (like if someone falls on it). The three included Spikeballs may need to be filled with some more air (a needle is included to attach to an air pump). With all the same capabilities as the Spikeball UK Standard, the Spikeball Rookie offers more net for added fun. The aim of the game is to serve in a way that makes it hard for the opposing team to serve the ball back.However, I did end up retightening our net as we weren’t initially getting as much bounce as we wanted. Or if you’ve covered the basics and you’re ready to step up your game, the advanced Spikeball Pro set features a sturdier body design to keep the set stable and the net taut during the harshest of plays. You fasten the black sections of the rim together, snap on the five yellow legs, and secure the net to the built-in rim hooks.

A "kill" is a term used when ball is hit and bounces off the net, and the opposing team could not dig the ball, resulting in a point. If the serving team wins the point, the server must switch places with their teammate to serve to the other receiver. You will want plenty of free space around the spikeball net so players can move around without colliding with objects or the net. This section includes a list of general references, but it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations.In addition to the original, classic way of playing roundnet, there are many variations that can be made to the rules of the game, some of which have become more and more popular. Many competitive teams and players master these four fundamental skills: serve, pass/dig/set, attack (spike), and the body block. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. Spikeball rules require that they toss the ball in the air at least 2 inches before they can hit it. So if you’re ever going to get into roundnet, your first move should be to invest in the best Spikeball set that fits your needs.

During the serve, all players who are not receiving the serve have to line up in their designated positions outside of 6 feet from their section of the rim. In this review of Spikeball Standard 3 Ball Kit, my boys, age 7, 10, 12, and 14, and my 16-year-old daughter and I try out this game that has been around since 2008 but was new to us. But there are a few key differences that you’ll want to consider when deciding which set to purchase.Once the ball is served, the players can move in any direction they want because there are no boundaries, no sides. The team that scores 15 points or 21 points and is leading the opposing team by 2 clear points wins the match. Cut serve: [12] Used by advanced-level players, the server tosses the ball and hits the ball with side spin and top spin, making the ball bounce off the net wider than expected by the receiver. Finally, rules and technicalities aside, the goal is to have fun, so get out there and have fun with your friends! It's lighter—about 3 pounds (while others hover closer to 7 pounds), more durable, thicker, has more textured balls for greater control and spin, and has foldable legs to prevent breakage and make storage a breeze.
