12 teams clash in ongoing Rocball season
ANOTHER season of Rocball blazes on at the Marianas High School Gymnasium, with a total of 12 teams vying for the top.
And, in international news, the Rocball Fedration of India just finished a Rocball Camp with 50 players and 15 coaches in Mumbai.
The late-season intramural league started with eight groups, increased to ten, and — then a week into competition — grew to twelve teams, including a teachers’ team.
After three weeks (15 games) the Kingz remain undefeated with three wins. Teams Rockafella and You Got Served follow with two wins each.
The top three ‘heavy hitters’ (players who score most often in Rocball’s multiple point scoring system) are YGS’s Justin Pardierna with eight aces and one xunk for 19 points, Ben Olopai of the Kingz with four aces, two kees, and one goal for 13 pts, and Nick Gross with two aces, two kees, and one goal for 11 points.
The teams that have scored the most goals in a game are the YGS, who scored two goals in a game twice, School House Roc…Ball, who scored two goals in one game, and the Fil’ Aces, who also scored two goals in one game.
The teams that have scored the most two-point backcourt plays are the School House Roc…Ball with six kees and Rockstars with five kees. The Kingz, Alpha Q, and Home Town Kids are tied with four kees each.
A kee is made by the goalie from either team that scores court points from the backcourt behind the ten-foot front line.
Team You Got Served leads the pack with 12 aces, trailed by the Kingz at 11. Alpha Q and Leche Dude are tied at third with 10 aces each.
An ace — worth two points — is a serve that is hit and grounded by a player on a receiving team before a second player touches the ball.
The teams that have ‘xunked’ their opponents the most are the Kingz and G-6 at three xunks each and the Geeks, HTK, and Leche Dudes at two apiece.
A xunk is a serve that is made in such a way that it lands on a receiving team’s side of the court untouched. The team that scores a xunk has the option of adding two points to their score or deducting two points from their opponent’s score.
Two players have scored a ‘jam’ so far. This is a one-point defensive play made by a front line player on the receiving team. It is the most difficult of scoring techniques in Rocball. A ‘jam’ is made when a front line player on the receiving team smacks down and grounds a served ball on the service team’s court.
A ‘Master Blaster’ is a player that has scored at least once in each of the scoring techniques of Rocball: court point, ace, xunk, jam, kee, and goal.Comment

Rocball creator Jim Feger named Rotary Club’s Citizen of the Year
Thursday, June 30, 2011 12:00AM
JAMES “Jim” W. Feger, the creator of rocball, is this year’s recipient of the Rotary Club Citizen of the Year Award.
Rotary Club of Saipan outgoing president Glen V. Perez presented The Citizen of the Year plaque of recognition to Feger “in recognition of his insurmountable vision and effort to the sports community in the CNMI, and for his vision, creativity and his burning desire to make a difference exemplifies the Rotary Club’s definition of an outstanding citizenship.”
Each year, the Rotary Club selects an individual in the community to honor as its citizen of the year. To be considered for the award, an individual must have made long-lasting and valuable contributions toward the improvement of life and the community.
Feger received his plaque during the club’s installation dinner in the Hibiscus Hall of the Fiesta Resort & Spa on Tuesday evening.
Feger said he is happy to have created a CNMI-owned sport recognized by the Public School System. “Thank you Rotary Club for honoring me for creating something that we can call ours,” he said.
Feger invented and has had the sport of Rocball copyrighted with the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. He was honored in 1997 with a commemorative resolution by the Saipan & Northern Islands Municipal Council for his invention.
It was during the 1997 ceremony of the municipal council that Rocball was identified as “Saipan’s Own Sport”. And, Feger encouraged the community to continue playing rocball and get involved in the sport.
Rocball is a game derivative of volleyball with multiple point scoring techniques, goals at the end of each court; the three point score, and the first team net sport of its kind to develop offensive and defensive scoring.Comment
