How to Play

The basics

BounceNet is a fast-paced game of catch between two teams.

Bouncers shoot the ball off their BounceNet sleeve, trying to land the ball in bounds. Catchers need to catch the ball before it hits the ground. There's no running with the ball, so it's all about passing and movement.

The adjustable court makes it great for the backyard, the beach, between classes, or at a tailgate. BounceNet brings people together because it's simple, fun, and requires virtually no setup.

Other ways to play

  • P.E. lesson plans

    Check out our P.E. curriculum and get your whole class bouncing. Teach movement and teamwork, and adapt it easily for various ability levels.

  • Inside out

    Add a player to each team outside the court; in between each touch by a player inside the court, they must pass to the teammate outside the court—otherwise play as usual.

  • Relay race

    Spread out teams of four to six players in lines across the floor. See which team can pass the ball to all teammates down and back without letting it drop. Fastest team wins.

  • Supreme Court

    Snap multiple sets of lines together at the buckles to create one huge court (for large groups of players).

  • To the moon

    Take your game to new heights and play with super high bounces only. See how long you can sustain a rally! Pro tip: use your legs for more power.

  • Trick shots

    Think outside the box and hit a shot no one's ever tried! Then share it with the world on social media.

  • Wall ball

    Players take turns hitting the ball off a wall or pitched roof. Alternate hits and score when your opponent lets the ball hit the ground.

  • Knockout

    Two single file lines of players face each other on either side of a net. The first player in line hits the ball over the net and runs to the back of the opposing line. Any player who can't return the ball is out. Continue until only one player is left.
