So, what is Rock-It-Ball?

The fastest growing Sport in the World, a F ast, Fun Fitness activity for both lads & girls

No goals, No Zones, No Court Markings, No Boundaries, No Outs- points are scored by hitting a moving target with a specially made low impact ball- The opposing team!

 
Rock-It-Ball is a great way to get involved in friendly competition, get Active and healthy and build confidence by learning new skills.

To play you use a Rock-It, a British invention, developed and manufactured by The Rock-It-Ball Company

Rock-It-Ball teaches key skills; Running, Scooping, dodging, blocking,  throwing & catching and promotes movement, agility, balance and coordination. Games can be played in teams of 5, teams of 3, pairs, and singles- v2 and v3

Triples

v2

V2 is a small sided version of Rock-It-Ball, played 1v1 in a squash court, or a “v” court (where available). Just like the team game, there are no goals, no markings, and no zones and The object of the game is to hit your opponent with one of 3 balls that are on the court at any one time.

Players can go anywhere on court and organised games are 2 x 4 minute halves, which means a typical 40 minute squash court booking can fit a mini tournament for 3 individuals.

As with the full sided version of Rock-It-Ball, v2 can be played by males and females, as well as by people with a disability

There are rules governing the following age brackets: Peewee: 5 - 8 years; Cadet: 8 - 11 years; Junior: 11 - 14 years; Youth: 14 - 17 years;

Adult: 18+; Masters: 40+, so there really is something everyone can take part in.

 v2 is seen as a highly competitive and gladiatorial version of the sport; one on one makes for some intense stand-offs . It is also a fantastic, compact package to profile the sport and a cost effective way to get clubs up and running, with equipment and venue hire costs at a fraction of those for the full sided game in the early stages of club development. v2 is the perfect way to bring Rock-It-Ball to small and large leisure venues alike.

 v2 is a great way to introduce the sport to anyone who is overweight as they don’t have to run around as much as in the full sided game, plus some people just prefer individual sports to team activities.

v2 is the ultimate addition to any menu of activities
