Bossaball

Bossaball is a team sport that originated in Brazil and was conceptualised by Belgian Filip Eyckmans in 2004.

[1] Bossaball is a ball game between two teams, combining elements of volleyball, football, and gymnastics with music into a sport.

[3] Some other countries where Bossaball has been introduced include: Brazil,[4][5] Argentina,[6] Mexico,[7] Turkey, Belgium, Netherlands,[8][9] Spain,[10] Germany,[11][12][13] France, Switzerland, Portugal,[14] Greece, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania,[15] Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait,[16][17] Singapore,[18][19] Chile, Colombia, Ecuador,[20][21] Venezuela, and Paraguay.

The height of the net between both fields can be adjusted for different levels, such as professional, intermediate, beginner, or children.

The opposing team must make a combination of no more than five contacts with the ball to return it to the other side of the net.

During a rally, the ball is tossed around while the attacker jumps on the trampoline in order to gain height.

The team on defence attempts to prevent the attacker from directing the ball into their court; the players at the net jump and reach above the top (and across the plane) of the net in order to block the attacked ball.

The game continues in this manner, rallying back and forth, until the ball touches the court within the scoring zones or a mistake is committed.

When the ball touches the floor (the bottom of the trampoline or the inflatables) within the court boundaries (the outer safety zone is out), the team on the opposite side of the net is awarded a point.
