The rise in popularity in the sport of Spikeball has led to its tournament debut in Âé¶čAV this summer.
Spikeball is a four-player, two-team game that combines miniature volleyball with another ball sport, four square.
Âé¶čAV tournament co-creator Kyle Cameron wanted to bring competitive play to the Okanagan.
âMyself and my friends have been playing for about four years and I couldnât believe there wasnât anything organized, especially considering how great of a location Âé¶čAV is,â said Cameron.
âSo I set out to be the first to put it on. Itâs an extremely fast growing sport, as soon as you play once youâre hooked.
âIf I didnât do it, someone else surely would have.â
