Roundnet (also known as spikeball) is a ball game created in 1989 by Jeff Knurek, inspired primarily by concepts from volleyball. The game is played between two teams, usually with two players each. At the start of a point, players line up around a small trampoline-like net and serve from one team to another. Teams alternate hitting the ball back to the net.
Roundnet experienced a revival in 2008 when Spikeball Inc. began manufacturing and promoting its roundnet equipment, with "spikeball" becoming a common name for the game.. Spikeball Inc. now has competitors, including Premier Spike.
