Game Rules

If playing on grass or other similar surface, use the included rope and spikes to create 2 boxes. Each box is 6'x6'. Boxes should be placed 6 feet apart.
If playing on sand, you have the option to use the paddles to draw two squares instead of using the ropes.
To increase difficulty of the game, setup squares more than 6 feet apart.

Squareball is played with 2 players. The object of the game is to hit the ball into the square of the opposing player, while defending your own square.
The game is separated into two phases?, the volley phase and the attack phase. During the volley phase, each player must hit the ball with an upward trajectory. This volley phase includes a total of 4 hits. During this phase, faults are given if a player hits a ball that lands outside the opponents square. Two faults result in a point for the opposing player. Every time a point is awarded, faults are reset.
The attack phase begins with the 5th contact of the ball. During the attack phase, there are no restrictions to how a ball is hit. A point is awarded when a player hits the ball into the square of their opponent. If the ball hits the body of the opposing player, that counts as landing in the square.
The server continues to serve until they lose a point. “Winner serves”.
Players may attack the ball inside the square, to either side of the square, or behind the square. Players may not step in front of the square to contact a ball.
Players may volley to decide who serves first. Rock, paper, scissors is also acceptable.

The game is played to 11 points.
The server must call out the score before the serve by saying their own score first, then the opponent’s score, followed by any faults that have been earned by either player. Using the words “my fault” or “your fault”. If both players have earned faults, the server would say the score and then “my fault, your fault”.
Examples:

1-1 my fault
1-1 your fault
1-1 my fault, your fault
