Raljoball is a relatively new sport that is beginning to spread across America. If you are unaware of what this new sensation is, this page will describe it in detail. It will also keep you posted on the recent news and development of the sport.

Raljoball(Rah-LOW-ball) is a hand-to-ball sport played between two players against one another. It is only played in the United States as of now. The ultimate objective is to score more points than your opponent . It's played similarly to volleyball, tennis table, and badminton.  There is a 12 foot by 12 foot square on the ground, split in half by a net that is about 2 ft high. On each side of the court there is a wall that you can play off of, much like in badminton. Each player tries to hit the ball over the net with primarily their hands; however it is legal to play off any body part. The ball used is small (approx. 5.5 inch diameter) with basketball type material. The scoring is based on a non-rally system, meaning, you only score points if you serve it. To get the serve back, the non-server must score. The server's boundaries are inside other small boxes attached to the main court called service boxes. The ball may touch the net on the serve, but not at any other time during raljoball play. Also the ball may not hit the boundary line during the serve. Any other time, the ball is able to hit the line. You can only allow the ball to bounce once on your side. But it doesn't need to bounce, unless it's on the serve. Games are played up to 25, with a win-by-two rule. There are several other rules designed to make the game fair in any situation that may arise on the court.
