Hooverball is a combination of tennis and volleyball, played with a six pound medicine ball. It was invented in the 1920’s by a White House physician, to keep President Herbert Hoover fit. Here at Petranek Fitness, we like to play it down on the Santa Monica Beach! We play Hooverball on the beach volleyball courts. The game is easily adaptable to all fitness and skill levels. It’s a great way to spend the morning – in the fresh air and sunshine, bonding with teammates and competing with classmates!

On August 23rd we will be holding a Hooverball tournament and all Petranek Fitness clients, from the Santa Monica, Rancho Park and beach locations are invited to join in! There is not charge for this event - just lots of fun! No experience is necessary either - there will be a wide range of fitness and skill levels.

Please email if you are interested – We will be coordinating the actual team assignments based on who signs up.

We will be arranging the tournament brackets ahead of time, so to participate everyone must sign up in advance. Teams will compete against each other in sets of five games. The winner of the best of five games will progress to the next level of the tournament. All teams will have multiple opportunities to play, regardless of game outcome.
