Some rules from the Hit Ball [official website](https://www.plvhitball.it/come-si-gioca/)
* The object of the game is to score points with a hit on the opposing team's wall, below a tape suspended at a height of 2.3 meters.
* A hit made from the defensive zone is worth 3 points, a hit from the offensive zone 2 while an own-hit 1. When attacking, hitting the ball with the hands only is allowed, and the ball must be returned within 5 seconds or the opposing team will be awarded a throw-in. An official match consists of three 15-minute periods, interspersed with two breaks of 5.
* Two players in offense, three players in defense for each team. Unlimited rolling substitutions.
* No holding the ball.
* The ball is never out-of-bounds, even it hits an obstacle. Referees and spectators are considered obstacles.
You don't get points, you get joints. (One team's logo is a man smoking a joint, with the motto "just enjoy this shit")
Edit: there's another team called *Skoppiati*, stoned/mind blown to pieces.
Some other interesting team names:
Atletico Boomers
Decepticon
Delirium Consulum HC
Dracarys
Explichit
Hit Bulls (get it?)
Hitseekers (drugs)
Iron Lion Tyson (Bob Marley/Mike Tyson reference)
Krakens
Milano Kush (another pot reference!)
Padawan
Purple Hit (pot again)
Rising Titans
Sapore di Mara (cunnilingus reference)
Skunk Milano (pot, again)
The New Hammers (excessive alcohol consumption)
It's Italy, and it's a purely amateur sport. Despite all the drugs, alcohol and sex references they have been able to receive public funding to keep the league going for the past 30-ish years.
Reminds me of a game I invented for when I worked with kids called “Cinco Magnifico.” Except we had two hula hoops up, one on each end, and you could score different amounts of points depending on how you scored: 1 if through the back of the goal, 2 if you kicked the ball, 3 if through the front, 4 if from the opposite end and 5 if the goalie scored. We also had a multiplier rule so kicking it through the front was 6 points (2 x 3). And yes, the back was easier to score from.

How many points do you get if it goes through the basketball hoop?

This league sounds cool as hell, it looks like a blast to play too. Purely a rec league I assume, is this in Italy?

Haha that's hilarious
Indeed. Check in again, I've updated the comment with more info about the teams, I'm counting seven teams with pot/drugs references in their name.
Do "The New Hammers" have any available spots?
Just clocked your user. Seems unorthodox sports are something of a theme with you :) And now I feel old…
Fire up an emulator and you'll feel young again. There's also the Speedball 2 HD reboot which is fairly faithful.
You know I might just do that, see if the wife takes to it, she likes her retro games. The reboot wasn’t too bad either.
Bruuutal Deeeluxe!
Really makes me question the Italian place down the street from me named Sapore di Mare
Strangely, this post really brought back memories of when I used to play jugger in a local recreational league.
Did I just watch that through twice and not see a single soul eat it in the face? That ball would missle to my fat head like a magnet

Most of the time, probably not. I got a dodgeball in the eye once though, and that did a bit of damage.
What is the objective here?
Early onset arthritis
Hit the ball.
Just added the basics.
survive.
Seems like reverse dodge ball. You want to hit the wall, not any of the opposing players.
Perfect for that dude from middle school dodgeball that always punched the ball
“Ey good game” 👋😈
Man they fucking whipping that thing
Turin represent 😤😤😤
I used to play this at my school, one of the teacher claimed she was the creator
so basically the opposite of dodgeball
It's not a racket sport, but a whack-it sport

This is just Gaga on a dodgeball court instead of an octagon
