I did more of a “excuse me?”, followed by “the hell is that!”

A quick Youtube tutorial shows a  group meeting in the centre which result into a player punching the ball, then the opposing players have to prevent it hitting the ground.

this is really the weirdest thing I've ever seen...

 

and frankly, I refuse to name it a "sport"...

Oh, I’ve actually seen this sport before and watched some matches at a world championships. Yes, I remember thinking what the hell is this then. It’s a big deal in schools (not in American, but in Japan I think)

Yes it’s essentially a big game of “keepie-uppie”. Points are scored when a team is not able to keep the ball in the air. I forgot the rules of the court boundaries, but I’m actually a bit familiar with this sport.

It looks very Japanese indeed. I'm only missing the part where suddenly some machine throws a whole bunch of slime in the face of a random participant who then has to eat some sort of bug and pass it on to the next one.
