How To: 9 Square with PVC Pipe and Fittings

9 Square – “9 Square in the Air” came about through a youth ministry in St. Louis, MO in 2010. Youth Pastor Steve Otey wanted to help his students more comfortably interact and get to know each other. He noticed that certain activities/games were consistently more popular than others week after week. Steve combined multiple activities/games and “9 Square in the Air” was born. 9 Square is an activity that can be enjoyed by all ages and ability levels, making it perfect for camp, youth ministry, school, athletic clubs, camping, the beach and at home fun.

The rules are simple – advance through the 9 squares of the game to the center, and stay there as long as possible.

After many requests and multiple customers looking to build their own game we have come up with an adjustable 9 square game. Take a look at the DIY PVC - Adjustable 9 Square with PVC pipe and fittings. This PVC design is a setup that uses Snap Clamps and telescoping PVC pipes to make the game to your desired height. This design can also be broken down and easily transported. We designed this product so we could offer it to a wide range of individuals of all heights and ages.
