Get Active: Quoit Volleyball
Wednesday 7th May 2014Combine two summer sports in one with Quoit Volleyball like this:
Put up a volleyball net in the middle of your meeting space, and divide your young people into two or more teams (ideally 4 to 6 players on each team).
Using similar principles to volleyball a team scores a point by throwing the quoit from their side over the net and into the court on the other side (quoit hits the floor). The opposing team tries to catch the quoit to prevent it hitting the floor, or can attempt to catch the quoit by it going onto their arm. If a player catches a quoit by it going on to their arm then the player that has thrown the quoit is out of the game.
Players that are out can re-join the game if a member of their team catches a quoit on their arm. Quoits should only be thrown with a wrist action coming from a player’s waist. As in volleyball you should rotate serves, with the person serving, doing so from the back right of the court. Service changes when a server fails to win a point.
