THE GAME IN ACTION

WHAT IS PUFF ‘R BALL

Puff ‘R Ball is a net and racket sport invented by Dallas Grieve on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia and played for over 25 years. Two teams face off across a net with tennis rackets and a light, bouncy 9 inch ball. It mixes the team play of volleyball, the rallies of tennis and the dribbling of basketball into something completely its own. One bounce between touches keeps every rally alive, and anyone can learn it in five minutes.

THE GAME AT A GLANCE

• Court — 30 by 60 feet
• Net — about 5.5 to 6 feet high
• Rackets — standard tennis rackets
• Ball — a light 9 inch bouncy ball
• Teams — 3 on 3 is the classic game
• Scoring — only the serving team scores, first to 15, win by 2

WHY PLAYERS LOVE IT

• Easy to start, hard to put down.
• The one bounce rule keeps rallies going and going.
• Play it in a gym, a driveway or a backyard, where fences and picnic tables become part of the game.
• If you love pickleball, tennis or volleyball, you will feel right at home.

THE BALL

The original game uses the light bouncy balls found in big store bins everywhere. A purpose built Puff ‘R Ball ball is now in development, designed to fly true, bounce lively and stand up to hard play on the strings.
