STORY
Back in May 2017, three childhood best friends Chris Meade, Greg Meade, and Michael Delpapa were hanging out in their hometown of Woodstock, CT for what they thought would just be a normal night in. With ESPN on repeat in the background, the conversation turned to "let's invent something." From there, they got to the drawing boards and started spitballing idea after idea. As the night went on and the sun began to rise, the friends eventually crossed off every idea until they had one remaining...Four square volleyball.
OUT IN THE WORLD
Immediately, the next morning the friends ran out to their local Walmart and rigged up their very first prototype. Flash forward to 2020, there are now over 20,000 CROSSNETS out in the world. Outdoor enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels are playing the world’s first four-square volleyball game.
