Gaga Ball
Gaga can be a large group of people playing individually, a group of people working as a team against another team, or even one-on-one matches. It is a great game that people of all ages can enjoy together!
Gameplay
Gaga is played in a large octagon called the Gaga court. Gaga begins with someone throwing the gaga ball up into the air. When it bounces the players say “Ga” each bounce for the first two bounces. After two bounces the ball is in play and the game starts. If the ball is caught after a player pops it up (see rule 6 below) then this will repeat. If a player is hit below the waist, the player is out. Using the walls of the octagon to aid in jumping is legal as long as the player does not permanently sit on the ledge of the octagon.
