Nearly 4 million people play 9 Square in the Air every year! Designed for maximum durability and portability, the Deluxe Game Set features a sturdy, sport‑grade PVC frame with locking connectors that create a strong, stable structure for indoor or outdoor use.
The legs adjust to 5', 6', or 7' high, so you can easily customize the height for younger kids, teens, or adults and accommodate a wide range of ages, skill levels, and abilities. Protective feet help safeguard indoor floors, while the weather‑resistant frame stands up to outdoor play on grass, turf, or pavement. When you’re done, the entire structure breaks down quickly and packs into the included storage/carry bags for easy transportation and compact storage.
9 Square in the Air was originally invented by a youth pastor for working with teens, and it has since grown into one of the most popular group games for building community and creating shared experiences. The gameplay is simple to learn: players stand in each square of the 3x3 grid, the ball is served from the center square, and everyone works to stay in the game by volleying the ball up and out of their square without letting it drop or hit the frame. Touch the structure, miss the ball, or hit it out of bounds, and you’re out. Rotate to the back of the line while everyone else moves up toward the coveted center square. This constant rotation keeps lines moving, maximizes participation, and makes the game ideal for large groups looking for a high‑engagement, low‑prep activity.
The Deluxe Game Set includes everything you need to start playing right away: the 18' x 18' adjustable frame, high‑quality connectors, feet, game ball, and carrying/storage bags, plus easy setup and gameplay instructions. Most groups can set up the game in just minutes, and you only need a flat 25' x 25' playing area for optimal use. With premium construction, a 1‑year warranty on components, and proven durability in schools, churches, and camps across the country, this set is built to withstand hours of play, week after week and year after year.
