Co-ed Wallyball

Wallyball is a team game that is played with a round inflated ball in an area where a net is placed between 2 or more walls. Play is started by one team hitting the ball "off the wall" or directly over the net to the opposing teams' floor area. The opposing team attempts to prevent this by hitting the ball off the side or back wall and volleying it back over the net . The ball is out of bounds whenever it touches the ceiling, hits the back wall, or hits two or more walls on the serve or volley. The back wall is in play only on teams' side that's returning the serve or volley. Points are scored when the team 's side that's returning the serve or volley fails to return it in a manner allowed by the rules. The team first scoring 15 points, provided there is a two point advantage.
