Court roughly divided in half by a net around 5ft (1.5m) high.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Divide players into two teams standing on opposite sides of the net.

2

A player serves by throwing the ball over the net toward the other team.

3

The receiving team catches the ball and throws it back over the net without letting it touch the ground.

4

A team scores a point if the opposing team drops the ball, throws it out of bounds, or fails to clear the net.

5

Teams rotate positions periodically so everyone gets a turn near the net.

6

The first team to reach the target score, commonly 15 or 21 points, wins the game.
