Sandball Rules
Players
2 teams of 3
Equipment
1 volleyball, a 22.0 x 11.0m (approx 24.1 x 12.0 yards) court of sand, one 2.0m (approx 2.2 yards) long goal at the middle of each court end.
Length
4x10 minute periods, ends of court swap after each, time only counts while play is going on.
Rules
At the start of each period, and after each goal is scored, all three players on each team start behind their goalline. The ball is placed in the center of the court. At the start, the players rush up to the ball in order to grab it.
No kicking or thorwing of the ball is allowed, but giving it to someone else is. To score, the ball must be carried through the goal.
To get the ball off the other side, grab it and wrestle it from whoever has it; no punches, kicks, etc, grapples only, and nothing aimed above the shoulders - The teammates of whoever has it can help as desired.
If the ball leaves play (goes outside the boundries of the court), it should be placed in the half way into the arena at the length it went out of bounds, proceed as per the start of each period.
Whichever team has the most goals at the end of fourty minutes wins.
