What is a spike ball set?

A Spike Ball set refers to the equipment used to play the game Spikeball, which includes a small, taut round net placed at ankle level and a ball. The game is somewhat similar to volleyball but differs notably because the ball is hit onto the net rather than over it. In gameplay, teams of two hit the ball onto the net, where it ricochets off and must be returned by the opposing team, also by bouncing it off the net, within their set number of touches, often three, like volleyball. The game aims for a high-paced, competitive interaction with continuous play until the ball isn't returned properly, scoring a point for the opposing team. This set is typically packaged with the net, a ball, and may include other accessories for set up and play 1.
