• Footvolley: A sport from Brazil in which the hands and arms are not used but most else is like beach volleyball.
• Hooverball: Popularized by President Herbert Hoover, it is played with a volleyball net and a medicine ball; it is scored like tennis, but the ball is caught and then thrown back. The weight of the medicine ball can make the sport to be quite physically demanding; annual championship tournaments are held annually in West Branch, Iowa.
• Newcomb ball (sometimes spelled "Nuke 'Em"): In this game, the ball is caught and thrown instead of hit; it rivaled volleyball in popularity until the 1920s.
• Prisoner Ball: Also played with volleyball court and a volleyball, the object of the game is to get your opponents "out".
