Newcomb Ball
Newcomb Ball
Is a lead up game to volleyball.
The sport is played in a rectangular court separated by a rope (ie clothesline) at a fixed height that essentially acts as the net.
Each team is allowed a maximum of three (3) successive catches or contacts with the ball before it must be thrown over the net. The ball may be thrown in any direction to a member of the same team before being thrown over the net (except during service ). The ball must not be hit (spiked), headed, batted or kicked.
A match is played in two halves, and the duration of each half is what is accepted by both the teams prior to the match. Similar to volleyball, a play starts with a serve where a plays throws the ball into play from outside their playing area. The play continues with a catch and a throw back until one team scores a point. Points are awarded for a team, if the opposing team is unable to catch the ball or throw it back inbound. The team with the most points at the end of the match is the winner.
