Action
Push poles into the sand and stretch a rope between them at about chest height. Use a towel or old sheet if you have no net. Check that the area around it is clear of rocks. This gives structure to your game.
Pro-Tip
Measure the distance between the poles with your steps to make sure the net is even. Bring extra rope in case it breaks during play.
Spicy Twist
Race each other to see who can set up their side of the court faster. The winner picks the first game rules.
Action
Pass the ball back and forth while standing ten feet apart. Increase the distance slowly as you loosen up. Add some running in place and arm circles. This gets blood flowing and helps prevent pulled muscles.
Pro-Tip
Count your successful passes out loud together to stay focused on the task. This also helps you warm up your voices for calling plays.
Spicy Twist
Give a small cheer or clap for every ten good passes in a row. It builds good energy before the real game starts.
