Spikeball, an entertaining outdoor game that nearly anyone can play, has taken over Helmick Commons at Drake University. The game involves four people, with two partners competing against one another. Before play begins, all four players start six feet from the net, with teammates on the same side. Play initiates with a serve and once the ball is in play, each team of two has three touches to return the ball back onto the net and to the other team.
The game involves a lot of diving for balls and quick footwork.
