Alright, listen up, y’all. Today, we’re gonna talk about this thing called four square volleyball. I ain’t no expert, but I’ve seen the young’uns playin’ it, and it looks like a hoot.

So, what’s this four square volleyball game all about? Well, it’s kinda like regular volleyball, but with a twist. Instead of that big net and all them fancy rules, you got a square, split into four smaller squares. See? Simple as pie.
Now, you need at least four folks to play. One person stands in each square. If you got more, they just gotta wait their turn in a line. The person in the biggest, fanciest square, let’s call it number four, they get to start. They smack that ball into someone else’s square. Not too hard, mind you, we don’t wanna hurt nobody.
- Square Number Four: This is where the big shot stands. The server, the king or queen of the court, if you will.
- Squares One, Two, and Three: These are for the other players. They gotta be ready to hit the ball when it comes their way.
Once the ball bounces in your square, you gotta hit it to someone else’s square. You can only use your hands, no kickin’ or head-buttin’ allowed. And you gotta keep it in the big square, don’t go sendin’ it off into the weeds. If you miss the ball, or it goes out of bounds, or you hit it twice, well, then you’re out. You go to the back of the line and wait your turn again. And everyone else moves up a square.
The goal? Get to that number four square and stay there as long as you can. It’s like bein’ the boss, see? Everyone wants to be the boss.
This four square volleyball thing, it ain’t just for the young’uns either. Anyone can play. It’s good for you too, gets you movin’ around, gets your blood pumpin’. Better than sittin’ on your behind all day, that’s for sure.
Why is the four square volleyball game so good, you ask? Well, for starters, it’s easy to learn. You don’t need no fancy equipment, just a ball and a square. You can draw it in the dirt, you can use chalk on the pavement, heck, you can even use tape on the gym floor if you’re fancy like that. And it’s a fun way to get some exercise. You’re runnin’ around, jumpin’, reachin’, and you don’t even realize you’re workin’ out, ’cause you’re havin’ so much fun.

And it ain’t just about the exercise, it’s about the socializin’ too. You’re playin’ with other folks, laughin’, talkin’, maybe even a little friendly competition. It’s good for the soul, you know?
Now, some folks might call this volley square game, or 4-square volleyball, or even a volleyball 4 square drill. Don’t get yourself all confused. It’s all the same thing, just different names. You know how folks are, always gotta make things complicated.
Think about it, you got this game, right? This four square volleyball game. It’s easy to set up at a playground or even in your own backyard if you got enough space. You can get the kids outside, get them some fresh air, get them off them dang phones and computers for a while. That’s gotta be good for something. And it teaches them a thing or two about coordination, and about taking turns, and about, you know, just being good sports.
And it don’t take no special skills either. You don’t gotta be no Olympic athlete to play. If you can hit a ball, you can play. That’s what I like about it. It’s a game for everyone, young and old, big and small, fancy and plain.
So, there you have it. That’s the lowdown on this four square volleyball game. It ain’t rocket science, but it’s good, clean fun. So next time you see some folks playin’ it, don’t be shy, go on and join ’em. You might just surprise yourself.
Important thing to remember is to have fun! Don’t get all worked up about winning or losing. It’s just a game, for goodness sake. And don’t be hogging the number four square neither. Give everyone a chance to be the boss.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I hear them young’uns callin’ me to play. Maybe this old lady can still show ’em a thing or two. Or maybe I’ll just end up sittin’ on the sidelines laughin’ at ’em. Either way, it’ll be a good day.
