This week we researched Bossaball. Bossaball originated in Spain and combines volleyball, football, gymnastics, and music into one. Bossaball is played on an inflatable court with a net in the middle with trampolines on both sides to allow players to jump and kick or flip. The teams consist of four players. One player starts on the trampoline, and the other three are positioned around them on the inflatables. One team serves the ball and the other team has five touches with any body part to get the ball to the other side, but one touch has to be with your foot. The goal is to not have the other team return the ball, like volleyball. The person positioned on the trampoline is called the attacker. They use the trampoline for height to ground the ball on the other side. The players rally back and forth until the ball touches the ground on one teams side. Whichever team lets the ball touch the ground on their side has lost the point, and the other team gains the point, just like volleyball. The referee is the interesting part of Bossaball. The referee is called a "samba" referee. They not only blow the whistle, but makes calls and serves as the Master of Ceremonies with a microphone, percussion, and a DJ set. Music is a very crucial part of the Bossaball competitions.
