The first of its Kind type of sport, kickstart Volley Soccer is a hybrid of football and volleyball it sounds so strange, playing Volleyball with your feet, but it’s pretty cool. It has an interesting story of origin that truly shows how creative people can be in pursuit of what they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volley soccer follows the basic rules of beach volleyball and the rules of the ball touching from football. Simply put, volley soccer is more or less like volleyball but players are not allowed to touch the ball and a football replaces the volleyball. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the only game played yesterday at the Jabi Lake in Abuja, Galadima FC lost to a more creative and Versatile Ijayapi Rocks 2-0 with the lads from Ijayapi dominating the encounter to win in straight sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
