2 teams will compete up to 15 points in a volleyball type game where players can only header the ball or volley/half volley the ball. Each team is only allowed one bounce of the ball in their own half. They should then attempt to put the ball back into the opposition's half. Points won if other team are unable to return the ball into the half. Ball to be served in by player. As many serves until they lose they point. Serve then goes to the other team. Points can only be won on team's own serve. Same player cannot serve again until whole time has served. First one to 15 points wins, must win be 2 clear points. (i.e. if 14-14, must play until clear winner.)
