9-Square-in-the-Air
This is a great team game that is fast-paced with rules that are easy to follow. The concept is based on combining volleyball with 4-square. The game requires 9 kids to play at a time so it is very inclusive. The game involves hitting a ball (volleyball or beach ball) through the square above you and into another player’s square.
The Game
- The person in the middle square (the king square) will serve the ball by hitting the ball up and out of their square.
- When the ball comes into your square simply hit the ball up and out of your square into any other square.
- If the ball falls into your square, you are out.
- If the ball is hit outside of the whole game structure, the last person who touched the ball is out.
- If someone double hits the ball, they are out.
- If someone hits the game structure, they are out.
- When someone gets out, they move to the back of the line. Everyone advances forward one square to fill-in the empty place.
