HOW TO PLAY
1

Each player stands in one of the nine grid squares, with the center square typically held by the reigning champion.

2

The center player serves the ball upward into another player's square.

3

That player must volley the ball into a different square before it touches the ground twice.

4

A player who lets the ball drop in their square, hits it out of bounds, or double-hits it is eliminated and moves to the back of a waiting line, with everyone else rotating up.

5

The player who reaches and holds the center square the longest is considered the current champion.
