Choosing teams
Suppose you have 10 players who want to play 5 a side airball. See how many times each player can kick a ball keeping it in the air, then put the 1st, 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th best, on the same team.
Airball will be starting off in schools. If you would like airball to come to your school, then email airball@live.co.uk for more details.
How to play
The idea behind airball is to keep kicking a football in the air either alone or against an opponent, or opponents.
Alone you can practice against a wall. Using a net , two or more players can be divided, with a court on both sides. The height of the net and size of court can be varied depending on each player's skill level, available room, and number of players on each side.
The ball may be struck with any part of the body except the hand or arm. However, when hit, the ball must initially go upwards. Any ball hit downwards is a foul shot, and the rally is over.
The ball may be allowed to bounce, once or twice before being kicked over the net to make it easier for beginners. More expert players must not allow the ball to bounce on their side of the court. Allowing only one side to let the ball bounce allows weaker players to play against stronger players.
Points are scored as in volleyball, first to 25 points wins the game (have to win by 2 clear points) with every point counting. The service line position will vary depending on the skill, and number of players.
