Aeroball in Dorset
Aeroball combines the concepts of basketball, volleyball and trampolining in an engaging and unique game that is sure to bring out a competitive streak in students.
With the ‘2v2’ style of the game, you have to work as a team to find success and reign victorious over your opponents. This promotes communication and working together – interpersonal skills which will benefits students back in the classroom.
During an Aeroball session, students can expect a full demonstration and tutorial of the rules and basic tactics. After the group is acquainted with how to play, students will take it in turns to pair up and have their turn in the Aeroball arena, where they will face two other opposing students. We often play ‘winner stays on’!

Physical education
Aeroball has fantastic health benefits. It builds upper body strength and requires stamina. Students will be ducking and diving to save balls from hitting their side of the Aeroball frame, and equally rising high to try and land a counter shot on the opponent’s side. It really is a full body workout that will improve strength and stamina.

Team work
As Aeroball is a 2v2 game, it requires the two players to work together to win the game. The players will need to communicate in order to delegate tactical responsibility and play to their strengths; taking one side each or dedicating themselves to an ‘attacking’ or ‘defending’ role. Not only will this make and improve friendships between students, but it will enable them to see the benefits of working together to find success in the task at hand – which will greatly benefit them in their personal and professional lives.
