Object of Game

Strike the ball so that the ball hits the ground first then the wall and then lands inside the boundary area.

1. The ball must hit the ground before hitting the wall. A ball that hits the wall and the ground at the same time is out.
2. The ball must be struck with the hands. ( No holds, push or carry shots)
3. A ball landing on a line is a good shot.
4. You may strike the ball after it has bounced on the ground once or you may strike the ball before it has bounced.
5. If the ball comes off of the wall and strikes a player, that player is out. If the ball strikes a player before reaching the wall, then it is a do over.
6. The player at the front of the line will be the judge for the players playing the game. (The judge will also make sure that players stay behind the waiting line.)
7. Wall Ball will only be singles play at Scholls Heights. This is because we have limited wall ball space and it will be easier for the judges to decide who is out.
8. If a player wins 4 games in a row, then they must go out and then the next two players start the next game.
9. The server is the person who won the previous game. The serve must land on or behind the service line. The receiver must take any serve that lands in the service court. The server gets two chances to serve the ball into the court. Beginner players may throw the ball on the serve instead of striking it. The serve must bounce once before it hits the wall.
10. The ball must always stay on or inside the boundary lines (just like a real sport).
11. Wall ball courts (5) in levels of difficulty (5 most difficult near the cafeteria/fence area)
