Slamball is a very recently conjured sport. The original inspiration was to mix football, basketball, and hockey (the inventors favorite sports) all into one. Though the football may have been moved more to the side, the game grew very greatly during it's first season which was televised.
Slamball is played on a court that are the exact detentions of a basketball court. The edges of the court are shielded like a hokey rink. There are four trampolines inside the three point line of each basket. A player is allowed to either shoot the ball from the ground, shoot after bouncing on a trampoline, and dunk the ball after jumping on a trampoline. There are 5 players on each team. Every member of each team must wear a soft helmet, shoulder pads, knee pads, and a mouth guard.
All of the rules in slamball are very comparable to basketball except for a few. You can legally hit anyone into the ground, even if they are carrying a ball. You cannot, however stike an opponent while he is jumping onto a trampoline.
