SPIKE ball

     Spike ball is a game of similar to volleyball and is played two versus two. The object is to hit the little yellow ball hard enough at the net or at a difficult angle so that you opponents cant get to the ball and spike back at the net themselves. Each team has 3 touches passes to each other, before they have to spike it. If the ball its the rim of the hula hoop sized rim, then the play is redone. When a team first starts to serve the ball is spiked against the net to the opponents. the opponents may continually call redos if they decide that they did not like the serve. There are often allot of redos when there is a lot of wind (the ball is very light so wind is very effective.) Which is why you would want to play when there isn't wind and preferably on sand or some other soft surface like grass, because the game can reach an intense level of diving and jumping for the ball.
For more information about the extreme game of spike ball, you can go to the spike ball website or talk to people that play during lunch.
