Volleyball with Human Net

An active camp sports game


How To Play Volleyball with Human Net

Materials Needed

Volleyball

Play this game with the same rules as volleyball except with 3 teams. Have 2 teams play against one another while the third team acts as the net. The "net" team can play a big part in this game as they give a good twist to an old game. The "net" can take one step in any direction (only one step) to hit the ball. The "net" can change direction of play at any time.

I was searching for something to do during a camping retreat and made this up just as a hope to keep everybody active. It turned out to be the funniest game we played.

This will be a great game with our Special Needs group. You could play so that it is boys against the girls, and the leaders make up the net... Just mix it up and have fun!

This sounds like a great game for our youth group! But I don't understand the rules concerning the net team.

I'm going to do this but edit it a little bit because we won't have enough time to do tournament style. There are three teams, two playing volleyball traditionally, and the third team is the net. They'll have a space marked out on the floor that they can't leave. If one of the two outside teams scores, they get a point. The net team can score points by catching the ball, but if they step outside their area, they lose points. The same goes if someone on the other teams step into the net teams area--they lose a point, too. So the biggest goal of the volleyball teams is to make sure they hit it far enough but still in play.

We're going to play this game this weekend. Has anyone played it that has ideas of whether the net team earns points? Do you do it tournament style?

Don't give him rubbish for submitting a good game. Use your imagination and figure it out yourself!

I would guess you would do this tournament style so each team has a chance to play and be the net.
