Chair Volleyball
Tu, Mar 21|11:30am|$0M/$2NM
This newest craze in games basically follows the rules of regular volleyball with one huge exception…players can’t get out of their chairs. A large beach ball replaces the regulation volleyball, the net is lower, and the game is played from a sitting position. A hard and fast rule is obvious, but not always easily followed by the novices. All derrieres must remain on the chair seat! Teams have unlimited hits for returning the beach ball to their opponents. The team just needs to get the ball over the net. Teams cannot catch and throw the ball; they must hit it over. Underhand or overhand hitting is allowed, and players can pass the ball to each other or hit it over the net. Lastly, the players are not allowed to stand or move out of the chairs. If a player does come off the seat during play, it is an automatic point for the opponent’s team. Come out and give it a try!
