Anyone Else Play Water Volleyball?

That is a funny story. We searched everywhere for a water-proof ball. Or one made of plastic. I Found one online for $40 that glowed in the dark, which would have been cool, but that is too much. One by one they all failed(the seams gave out or other stuff like that), or didn't feel right. One day my buddy bought a cheapy $8.00 volleyball from Wal-Mart, I don't know if it is real leather, but it feels like it. Anyway it has been our ball for two years. The ball I have been avoiding for many years turns out to be the most water-proof one out there.

Basketball huh? What are your dribbling rules, and how high are the goals.

Chaz-We have the combination volleyball/basketball set and it is a blast! We play horse and volleyball all the time. I have an 18 x 36 IG pool, 3' to 8'. We run the net across the shallow end. We always play men against women, with the women getting the shallow end. We play on the side that starts dropping off. If you haven't played volleyball in your pool you are missing great fun! My set is 2 years old and it came with a basketball and a volleyball, both of which we are still using. I think it is made by SwimWays or something like that. I paid $119 for it, and saw the Leslie's ad this week and they have it on sale for $69! Best $69 you will ever spend.

Dribbling is holding the ball with one hand out of the water. If you switch and hold the ball with two hands, you stopped dribbiling and can not move.
It is pretty easy to stop someones progress by going after the ball. You can't really drive the lane with our dribbiling rule, because it is easy to stop someone, with only 1 hand on the ball.

We call double dribble.

Our goals are set on the lowest adjustable setting, there about 8 feet from the bottom of the pool.
