The class splits into two teams, with a captain on each team (captains will decide any close calls). Make the net by putting chairs in a line in the middle of the class. Decide on boundaries. Use a beach ball. The captains decide which team serves first (they can flip a coin to decide, or do rock, paper, scissors). Serves are hit from the back half of each team’s area, and the service rotates after each point. Teams hit the ball back and forth over the net until the ball hits the floor or touches any other place that is out of bounds. The team that wins each individual play earns a point and keeps the service until it loses a point, like in regular volleyball.

The biggest difference between this game and regular volleyball is that a player is “out” for the rest of the game after each point! It’s no big deal, though, because games don’t take long to complete, and classes can sometimes play two games during a CPR meeting. At the beginning of each new game, everybody is “in” again. After each point, either the hitter of the last shot is out, or the person on the other team who is standing closest to the ball when it lands in on his/her side is out.

Here are some rules:

• The ball cannot hit the ceiling; if this happens, the hitter is out.
  
• The ball has to make it at least 3 feet past the net on the other side or the hitter is out.
  
• Players have to try to hit balls that look like they’re going to land in bounds near them or they’re out.
  
• If you spike the ball, you’re out.
  
• When there’s only one player on one of the teams, the ball must go 6 feet past the net on the other side. If it doesn’t, the hitter is out.
  
• The hitter is out if the ball she hits goes out of bounds.
  
• It has to be quiet and the team has to work together or their team’s captain is out.
  
• Everyone should participate.
