I played "Wallyball" with some friends and their co-workers last night.
Wallyball is just like vollyball, except you play it in a racquetball court and there is no out of bounds. All surfaces are fair to play off of except the ceiling (and the back wall on a serve).
It is hard to explain how something like this could be so fun, but realy it is. I had a blast. We played five on six, so there wasn't a lot of running "around" though you do move a lot. since there is no out of play area, and since the court is small, the game becomes a lot more fast paced than volly ball and you get more touches on the ball. The ball generally moves faster than in vollyball because there isn't as much bump-set-spike play, you deliver the ball to the other side on the first hit often because there is no danger of fucking it up unless you hit the ceiling.
Serving is a lot more fun too because you can play mind games and hit a few walls on th way over, though I almost got owned when some one on my team fucked up their fancy serve and the ball wizzed past my face.
If you have an opportunity to play, do it. You won't be dissapointed. I have never played with a new person who didn't enjoy it. Most places with racquatball courts should have nets and balls to play with and should let you play unless they are elitest dipshits.
