4-Way Volleyball
| Description: |
2 Nets criss-cross creating a nice X. One team is in each side and the game is played much like volleyball |
| Preparation: |
Prior to the nets erection, the field should be inspected for hazards like holes or rocks which could result in injuries. If the field can't be cleared, then a different location should be selected. |
| Basics: |
Mostly plays just like volleyball
|
| Instructions: |
- There are four teams instead of two, and two nets are placed across each other to form an X
- Scoring starts at 0 and teams get a point every time they make a mistake
- Score fifteen points and you're out
- Dead courts (areas left vacant by a team being eliminated) are out of bounds
