4-Way Volleyball
| Description: |
2 Nets criss-cross creating a nice X. One team is in each side and the game is played much like volleyball |
| Preparation: |
Prior to the nets erection, the field should be inspected for hazards like holes or rocks which could result in injuries. If the field can't be cleared, then a different location should be selected. |
| Basics: |
Mostly plays just like volleyball
|
| Instructions: |
- There are four teams instead of two, and two nets are placed across each other to form an X
- Scoring starts at 0 and teams get a point every time they make a mistake
- Score fifteen points and you're out
- Dead courts (areas left vacant by a team being eliminated) are out of bounds
- Service is by the team counter-clockwise from the team making the error
- We rotate courts any time any team reaches a score divisible evenly by four

Rangers/Campmaster should be consulted to determine if the lake is considered safe, prior to the event so we can declare the lakes out of bounds if necessary. |

Test your skills on our Par 62 course. Teams tee off at the Beaver Creek Skills building and attempt to put the ball in the cup, which is located at the nearby BC Field Sports area. |
| Instructions: |
- The game is played as teams, with a fixed rotation, kind of like batting order in baseball.
- If a player can strike the ball again without moving his/her feet, then they can take a free stroke; this is the Rand Rule.

Look for that to be back, and start thinking about your new hobbies today. |
