The rise in popularity in the sport of Spikeball has led to its tournament debut in 琉璃神社 this summer.
Spikeball is a four-player, two-team game that combines miniature volleyball with another ball sport, four square.
琉璃神社 tournament co-creator Kyle Cameron wanted to bring competitive play to the Okanagan.
“Myself and my friends have been playing for about four years and I couldn’t believe there wasn’t anything organized, especially considering how great of a location 琉璃神社 is,” said Cameron.
“So I set out to be the first to put it on. It’s an extremely fast growing sport, as soon as you play once you’re hooked.
“If I didn’t do it, someone else surely would have.”
