Intramurals newest sport. SPIKEBALL (Roundnet)As crazy as it sounds, its just as much fun. 

Spikeball is a team sport played by two teams consisting of two players each. Opposing team members line up across from each other with the Spikeball™ roundnet set in the center. A point begins when the server hits the ball off the net towards the opposing player. After the service, there are no sides or boundaries. The object of the game is to hit the ball off the net in such a way that the opposing team cannot successfully return it.

Leagues have standings and playoffs.
