Hooverball -- suggestion for a weekend workout

Doing a bit of reading in my recovery time and came across Hooverball in the process. According to Wikipedia, it's like volleyball, except it's played with a medicine ball and the ball is thrown and caught rather than struck (I don't think my limbs and joints would much appreciate hitting a medicine ball).

There's a short video of some guys playing with a 6-lb ball here, and a longer one of a mixed group playing with a 3-lb ball here. Looks like a pretty entertaining way to get a decent workout, especially when going from backcourt to backcourt.

I've wanted to play this game for a while. It looks like a fun way to get crushed.

Can we play it in the sand court outside the student rec center? I remember there being a sign at the court stating some kind of restrictions.

I'm not sure, I'll check it out next time I'm at the rec.
