The easiest way to start having fun with your new Waboba Ball:

• Bring one or two friends with you into knee/waist deep water
• Stand 10 - 15 meters apart
• Throw the ball to one another as when "skipping stones" or with a higher angle so that the ball bounces one or two times before being caught

The official rules of the Beach Game:

• The idea of the game is to pass between teammembers, three in each team, without loosing the ball to the other team.
• When all team members have caught the ball at least once, without interruption and with at least one bounce on water in each pass, the team gets one point (one round).
• The opposing team shall try to interrupt passes and start passing within their team.
• First team to three rounds wins the match. You have to pass the ball within 5 seconds after receiving it.
• It is allowed to tackle opponents, but not the player that has the ball. You are not allowed to hold an opponent.
  
   

The Match Game (added rules for tournaments):

• The game starts with the referee tossing a coin to decide which team shall start.
• After giving the ball to the captain of the starting team the referee (loudly) counts down from five before the first pass is allowed.
• In a Match Game the receiver must catch the ball in the air, after the ball has bounced. Failing to do this means that the pass is incorrect.
• The referee decides if passes and tackles are correct.
• When a pass or tackle is decided incorrect, or a penalty is given, the opposing team must, within five seconds, pick up the ball and continue the game or get a new ball from the referee. If they (their team captain decides) choose to get a new ball the referee shall throw or give the ball to the team member closest to him and immediately start a new countdown from five before a new pass is allowed.
• The penalty for holding an opponent, no matter how this is done, is one round for the opposing team. The same penalty can be applied for any lack of sportsmanship and shall be applied for unduly delaying the game. If one player fouls with an intention to hurt his opponent, or is neglecting obvious risks, his team looses the match by 3-0.
