HOW TO PLAY
1

Two pairs of players face off across a marked court divided by a center line.

2

The server strikes the ball with the padded glove, sending it over the line into the opposing pair's side.

3

The receiving pair must return the ball before it bounces twice, striking only with the gloved hand.

4

A ball that isn't returned properly, or that lands out of bounds, scores a point for the other side.

5

Play to an agreed point total; the first pair to reach it wins.
