Parachute Volleyball

Setup and Equipment:

• Parachute
• 15-20 beachballs or soft foam balls
• 1/3 of students hold the parachute
• 2/3 of the class spread out in general space around the parachute.

Rules :

• The class is divided into 3 teams
• All students hold on to the parachute, alternating order so that no player from a team is next to another player from the same team
• Two teams then let go of the parachute and take 2-5 steps back away from the parachute so that one team is holding the parachute with the balls on the parachute when the game begins
• When the music starts, the team holding the parachute begins to shake the parachute to get the balls on the floor.
• The other two teams use the bump or set pass to hit the balls back on the parachute.
• If a ball touches the floor the team holding the parachute gets a point. If a ball touches the floor it remains there.
• Teams rotate after a minute or so.
