9 Square in the Air

9 Square in the Air: The Ultimate Group Challenge

What it is: 9 Square in the Air is a fast-paced, high-energy game that combines volleyball with 4-square. Players stand in their own square under a 9-square grid and must hit the ball up and out of their square into another. If the ball lands in your square or you hit it out of bounds, you're out, and everyone rotates! It’s easy to learn, impossible to stop playing, and keeps a large group of people moving.  

Who it’s for: This is the "gold standard" for Church Youth Groups, School Field Days, and Summer Camps. Because it allows for 9 active players at once and incredibly fast rotations, it can handle a huge crowd of students without long wait times. It’s perfect for teens and adults, but adjustable heights make it great for younger kids too.

Where and When: We deliver this game to Castle Rock, Parker, Highlands Ranch, and the South Denver Metro. It is an indoor/outdoor champion—it fits perfectly in a standard gymnasium for winter lock-ins and stands sturdy on grass or pavement for summer festivals.

Why choose it: Social Icebreaker. 9 Square is one of the few games that naturally encourages social interaction and friendly competition. It’s highly portable, requires no power, and can be set up in minutes. It’s the perfect "filler" activity that often ends up being the most talked-about part of the event.  

Frequently Asked Questions

• How many people can play? 9 players are in the game at any given time, but because the "outs" happen fast, you can keep a line of 20-30 people moving through the game constantly.

• Is it height-adjustable? Yes! Our professional-grade set features adjustable poles, so we can set the grid at a lower height for elementary students or full height for high schoolers and adults.  

• What are the space requirements? The grid itself is roughly 18' x 18'. We recommend a total setup area of 25' x 25' to give players room to move around the perimeter.

• Does it require power? No! This is a completely manual, high-intensity game. No blowers, no cords—just pure play.
