In the 1960's, George Nissen developed a game that could be played on the trampoline and named it "Spaceball." His intention was to create a game that was not only fun, but easy to learn and didn't require training or coaching. Spaceball is designed with optimal safety measures in mind so that the focus is on playing the game, not on performing acrobatic maneuvers.

Spaceball is a great recreational activity that is:

• Easy to learn, fun to play
• Fast-paced action
• Hours of fun for the whole family
• Improves aerobic conditioning
• Increases endurance, balance, & coordination
• Burns calories and improves physical fitness

How to play Spaceball
The object of the game is to throw the ball through the basket in such a way as to make your opponent drop the ball. Players can time their bouncing and throwing to offset their opponent's ability to catch the ball. The player with the ball can also fake a throw to catch the opponent off guard. A point is scored when the ball is dropped. The serve always goes to the person who lost the last point.

Spaceball in Space
Initially, NASA Astronauts played the game for physical exercise to condition their bodies for space travel. With the introduction of George Nissen's latest design, now everyone can enjoy hours of Spaceball fun.

Spaceball has much more to offer than a regular trampoline and uses the same amount of space as a standard 14 foot round trampoline.
