Rebound Volleyball: The Newest Thing in Indoor Sports

What Exactly is Rebound Volleyball

One of the hottest indoor sports to hit Brisbane is rebound volleyball. This sport gets you moving inside with five other players as you work the ball over the net. This fast moving indoor sports game is great for the beginner or advanced athlete, and will definitely help you get in shape while having a spectacular time.

Layout of the Game

Rebound volleyball Brisbane is played within the boundaries of an inside cricket court. The net is set at the baseline, which is seven meters back from the wall, and stretches across the length of the court. Each team serves from an established serving area using a rubber ball that is similar to a volleyball. The court is surrounded by netting on the sides and ceiling. A boundary line around the outside of the court marks the out of bound line where the ball cannot cross under the net.

Teams are normally comprised of six players, with a mixture of men and women. Some teams can be as small as two or three, depending on how many are playing. How many play can alter the strategy that the team uses when employing people to block, hit and serve.

Game Rules

When playing rebound ball, each player rotates serving the ball to the other team. The ball can be played off of the side nets, but can only touch the overhead net when a team is hitting the ball for the first time. This gives the receiving team a chance to get control of the ball from a speedy return, such as after a spike. Players are not limited to a set position on the court, either. As they rotate through a game to serve, players can move around to any spot they choose while playing.

While in play, the server can hit the ball hard, but has to be careful not to get it out of bounds. The game moves fast and players have to have quick reflexes to know where the ball will land when it bounces back from the net.
