St. Patrick students learn the benefits of Nitroball ...

Students at St. Patrick School in Waukon learned another new game in their Physical Education class to help them remain active and develop skills. The game is called Nitroball (pictured above), and it has the same fundamental elements and rules as volleyball but the net is much lower to the ground and the students have to let the ball bounce once before hitting it. The lower net allows the students to practice all the skills of volleyball, including the spike. Allowing the ball to bounce once before hitting it also gives the students more time to react.
