This team-oriented game is portable and can be set up virtually anywhere. The patent-pending sport requires two teams of two players. Using the two-tiered hoop system, players try to dunk the RallyHoops ball through the net with a volleyball-style spike. To take home the victory, one team must score 21 points. The game setup is simple and can fit into a briefcase for easy transportation. Its compact case opens into two halves to create a base for the hoops. RallyHoops comes with two retractable poles, one RallyHoops ball and ball pump, four hoops, and nets.
