What Is Roundnet?
To quote Stockhom Spike: "If Volleyball and Tennis had a baby, the baby would be Roundnet and it would be the best baby ever. The official name is Roundnet but it is commonly called Spikeball."

New Rules starting summer 2025
To finish the 2025 season, the Swedish Championship in Uppsala will be played with Rule Set C. These rule changes aim to make Roundnet more balanced and entertaining for both players and spectators.
Out of Bounds (8.5m)
After an attack, the ball cannot land outside the 8.5m radius line. This creates a more defined playing area and encourages strategic placement.
100cm No Hit Zone
Increased from 91cm to 100cm. The No Hit Zone is also a No Drop Zone - the ball cannot land inside this area after an attack.
Free Positioning
The server's partner can start wherever they want, providing more strategic flexibility in game positioning.
Even Serve Distribution
"Ping pong" style serving - serve twice regardless of who wins the point, once to each opponent, then serve passes to the other team.
Mandatory Three Touches
The first attack must use all three touches, promoting more complex and strategic gameplay patterns.
3-Second Serve Limit
Reduced from 5 to 3 seconds to serve, keeping the game pace faster and more dynamic.
