It's hard to beat a good yard game and a few beers on a sunny summer afternoon. New games hit the market each year, and one that has received a lot of recognition lately is Spikeball.
Why We Like It
The great thing about Spikeball is that you actually get a pretty good workout without feeling like you're working out. The game requires a fair amount of hustle if you want to win. The other thing we like about it is that it doesn't require a lot of space to play. A space that is too small for frisbee probably has plenty of room for Spikeball. There's also the epic rivalries that come with any 2-on-2 cooperative game. Teams generally stay together for the entire day and the smack talking runs high, which makes it all the more fun.
Spikeball is for people looking to add a little motion to their weekend. It's for friends and families that love to stir up a little friendly competition. And make no mistake about it - Spikeball requires a certain level of physical ability to play a few games and have a chance of winning. Some games, like say croquet, level the playing field by allowing anyone of any ability to participate. If you decide to setup a Spikeball bracket (you should), get ready for a decent workout.
