Recreational Activities

• Wallyball—Fridays December 2, 9, and 16 at Noon, Rec Center Racquetball Courts.
• • What is wallyball? Wallyball is an awesome sport that adds a whole new dimension to the exciting game of volleyball. The general concepts of wallyball are very similar to indoor volleyball. Featured in a racquetball or squash court, wallyball provides the element of surprise as an ordinary volley can go a whole new direction with spiking the ball off the walls in many directions. Wallyball is a great workout and could be compared to the speed of an indoor soccer game. We think you will enjoy this sport. Be ready for fun and the unexpected!
