How to play CROSSNET in Canada

What is CROSSNET?

You were out for a walk and passing through a park, or maybe you were lounging on a beach, or perhaps even sitting on the couch watching ESPN. Regardless of where you were, you may have noticed a group of people playing what looks like volleyball but with TWO nets?!

Welcome to CROSSNET, the new sport that brings together the classic playground game of four square with the fun and excitement of volleyball! The court is your square, so don’t let the ball drop in it. Players score when they end a play on another player while in the king square (#4), the player that misplayed goes back to the start (square 1) while all other players move up. The first to score 11 points with a two point margin wins!

To put the ball in play, the player in square four serves to the player in square 2 who then can play the ball to any court. The play ends when:

• A player hits the ball out of bounds

• The ball lands in a player’s square

• A player hits the ball more than once in a row (double-hit)

Who can play CROSSNET?

CROSSNET is quick and easy to set up, and can be adapted for all ages and locales! As a result, the game is perfect for all age groups and skill levels including kids in elementary school and all the way up to adults at the professional level. 

Net heights can be adjusted to accommodate children as well as be set according to men’s and women’s volleyball regulation heights. Different bases and wider nets are also available so that the game can be played in pairs on the sand, grass, indoor surface, or even the snow! 

Where can I play CROSSNET?

Going to the beach, no problem! Looking for a fun activity to play in the park during a family BBQ, we got you! Want to take your pool party to the next level, look no further! Sick of being stuck indoors during the long Canadian winter, break a sweat in the snow with CROSSNET or check to see if there are any local indoor sand courts available for a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

The possibilities of where to play CROSSNET are endless, it just needs yourself and a couple of friends.
