What is Roundnet?
Roundnet (commercially Spikeball) is played two-a-side around a small circular trampoline net set on the ground. A serve rebounds off the net and rallies unfold in any direction — there are no boundaries. Games use three touches like volleyball and go to 21 points. The Spikeball Tour Series and USA Roundnet Nationals lead the pro scene.
