The Game
Spikeball is a team sport, which consists of two
teams of two players.
• When the game is started, the two teams will
line up adjacent to each other on opposite sides
of the Spikeball net.
• One team will serve the ball from behind the
boundary line. (6 feet from net)

The Game Cont.
• When the ball is served, it enables the players to
move anywhere on their side of the net.
• The primary objective of the game is for the players
to hit the ball into the net, which will prevent the
opposing team from returning the ball.
• Each team is allotted a maximum of three touches to
return the ball to the opposing team, which is
carried on until the ball is not returned correctly.

The Game Cont.
Spikeball has gained popularity with 250,000
individuals who currently play in the United States
and around 1,000 teams that are ranked.

Spikeball Serving Rules and Guidelines
• Serving is a big part of Spikeball, and there are many rules
that must be followed in order for a serve to be considered
successful.
• The serving rules and guidelines for Spikeball are:
• Before a serve takes place, the receiving team will set their
position. The server must stand directly adjacent to the
receiving player. The receiving player is the only person who
can take the serve.

Cont.
• Before the ball is hit, it must be tossed from the server’s hand.
Under no circumstances can the ball be hit directly from the
server’s hand, which is considered an illegal serve. In the case
the server is unhappy with the toss of the ball, then he or she
will need to allow the ball to fall to the ground. In this
circumstance, he or she will have one additional chance to toss
the ball for a successful serve.

Cont..
• Before serving, a player must be six feet from the service
line. It is allowed for a server to lean over the service line,
but under no circumstance is the server’s feet allowed to
cross the service line. If the server’s feet cross the service
line, then it is considered an illegal serve.

Cont.
• The player who serves is allowed to take a pivot step, but he
or she is not allowed to move laterally beyond the pivot.
• The server is allowed to serve with a drop shot.
• When a player serves the ball, it must be served below the
receiver’s hand. If the receiver is able to catch the ball, then
it has to be played. In the event the serve is too high, the
receiver must state “let” before the ball is touched. If the
receiver fails to call “let,” then play will continue.

Cont.
• In order to be considered a successful serve, the ball must
clear the net. In the case the ball does not bounce the way it
should, the receiver must call “let” before the ball is
touched. If this happens, the serving team has one more
opportunity for a successful serve. If the server fails to serve
properly, then the serving team will lose the point.

Cont.
• When the ball makes contact with the rim
during the serve, there is a possession
change and the opposing team will receive a
point.

and the server will change when a rally is
won by the team that is receiving.

Spikeball Rules for Contact
Spikeball has rules for contacting the ball, which include the following:
• Contact with the ball must alternate between team members.
• The ball is not allowed to be thrown, caught, or lifted under any circumstance.
During spikeball, the ball must be hit and a player must not hit the ball with both
hands at the same time.
• A player is allowed to hit the ball with any part of his or her body, but is not
allowed to contact the ball two consecutive times before it is returned to the
opposing team.
• In the event the two teams are not able to determine if the ball hit the rim, then
there must be a replay without question.
• When the ball hits the net, it must be a single bounce. In order for the play to be
successful, the ball must clear the rim completely.

Spikeball Violations
When teams play spikeball, there are rules that must be followed.
There are infractions that can occur during play, which include:
• Players must wait until their turn to return the ball. If a receiving player contacts
the ball when it is not his or her turn, then the team will lose the point.
• The defensive team players must attempt to move out of the offensive team
players way. When a defensive team member gets in the way of the opposing
team, then the player that is blocked will call “hinder” and there will be a replay.
If the offensive team player fails to call “hinder,” then play will continue.
• When a receiving team player hits his or her teammate with the ball, the point
will be lost. When a receiving team player hits the ball of the net and then makes
contact with the ball, the team will lose the point.
