Rest Day - Check out Hooverball

Take a few minutes to read about Hooverball. Basically, it's volleyball played with a 4 or 6 pound medicine ball. I hear it's a killer workout. It's a perfect CrossFit activity!

Here's one link http://www.hooverassociation.org/hooverball.html

Do a google search, you'll find plenty of additional info.

We have a handful of us ready to try it out. We'll post the time and date next week.

Hoover-ball was played by teams of 2-4 players with a six-pound medicine ball over a net eight feet high on a court similar to one used for tennis. The game was scored exactly like tennis, and played in similar fashion. The server throws the ball. The opponent must catch it on the fly and immediately return it, attempting to put it where it cannot be reached and returned. The side that misses the ball or throws it out of bounds loses the point.

"It is a distinctly strenuous affair, best understood as exactly like tennis except that the net is eight feet high, there are no rackets and the ball is a hefty medicine ball weighing six pounds." The New York Times

Join us, what's the worst that can happen. I'm sure we will go to Nuevo Acapulco for Margaritas after this one!!!
