Hooverball
Today, instead of a workout, the gym went out to the volleyball courts with a 6 pound medicine ball to play Hooverball.
Boy, what a weird game.
It’s basically a ridiculous game of catch. With a medicine ball. You serve from the back line, just like volleyball. Of course, you don’t volley or bump that (that would hurt like crazy). Instead, you catch and throw it.
The only major complication of this game is that if you catch it “at net” (meaning, in front of the halfway line of your side of the court), your shot has to go behind the opponent’s halfway line, i.e. the back court.
That, and you have to, you know, chuck a 6 pound ball over a volleyball net repeatedly.
Serving made my arms really freaking sore. Even worse was CATCHING. Arm torture.
Granny throw!
