    Gaga ball is one of the most popular games at SBC! Players gather along the inner wall of the Gaga pit, with the Gaga ball placed in the middle. Players can only hit the ball once at a time, so once it is hit, you cannot touch the ball again until it hits off another player or a wall. Players are must exit the pit and game if they are hit below the waste by the ball at any time or if they hit the ball out of the pit. The last person standing wins!
