​NitroBall Study Guide History: NitroBall was created in summer of 2005 in Sarasota, Florida. And was first known as “inverted volleyball
Created by Peter Boucher and became Nitroball at Canton High School in Massachusetts. Object: Score more points than the opposing team by passing, striking, or hitting the ball over the net so the opponents cannot legally return the ball. Number of Players: General guidelines are 4­6 players per team. Scoring: Uses rally scoring in which a point is awarded each time the ball is served. The first team to score 15 points wins (team must win by 2 points) Serving: Players take turns serving in a clockwise rotation. The server is in right back position and serve must be served underhand. Game Play: Once the ball is served, players can move in any formation on the court. The serving team continues to serve until the opposing team scores a point; the serve is then awarded to that team. A service fault occurs if the ball fails to make it over the net, touches a player of the serving team, lands out of bound, hits a wall before hitting the ground or the ball hits the ceiling. ❏
