{{Status|Canon}}
'''Gravball''' is a [[human]] sport that is played using a levitating ball on a repulsor court. As of [[2558]], gravball had been the most popular competitive sport in human space for nearly a century.<ref name="worthplaying">[http://worthplaying.com/article/2013/7/6/news/89850/ '''Worthplaying''' - ''Halo 4 (X360) Champions Bundle To Add New Maps, Mode, Skins, Armor, Bonus Upgrades'']</ref>

==Overview==
Gravball is available on some schools' playgrounds. As a child on [[Eridanus II]], [[John-117]] was not allowed by the other children in [[Elysium City Primary Education Facility Number 119]] to play the game because he always won.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 25'' (2001)</ref> Bars, such as the [[officers' club]] in the [[UNSC Recreational Facility 6055-NA-A]], often feature screens displaying gravball matches for the patrons' entertainment.<ref>'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', "[[A Necessary Truth]]"</ref>

A table game named "Gravity Ball", played in bars such as [[Eddie's In The Rock]] in [[the Rubble]], may be a smaller-scale variant of the game.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 63''</ref>

===Ricochet===
{{Main|Ricochet (gametype)}}
Ricochet is a variant of gravball used for training by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] drill instructors. Likened to "combat basketball", Ricochet combines combat simulations with the gameplay of traditional gravball. The [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan-IV]] complement aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} recently incorporated Ricochet into the ship's training decks as part of their War Games exercises.{{Ref/Reuse|worthplaying}}

Under the rules of ''Infinity'' War Games, Ricochet players earn 20 points for throwing the ball into the enemy's goal and 50 points for running it in. The first team to 150 points wins. It is unknown whether these rules apply to regular gravball.{{Ref/Reuse|worthplaying}}
