Attibutes from various sports are used during play in RASCBall. Among them are:

Basketball-With 5 floor players per team, RASCBall has many of the same dynamics as basketball. Much of RASCBall's movement and fundamentals parallel to that of basketball, with bounce and behind the back passes, screens and use of pick and rolls. Defensively, RASCBall mimics many of the same techniques and schemes used on the hardwood.

Hockey/Lacrosse-The dynamics and overall motion of RASCBall are similar to the likes of hockey and lacrosse. As the basic movement of RASCBall is similar to that of basketball, even more of the movement is similar to hockey and lacrosse. With the fast passed, back and forth, up-tempo style, RASCBall's play is unlimited and free flowing. The standard formation of 3 attacking players, 2 defensive players and a netminder mimic that of hockey and indoor lacrosse. Forceful physical contact is permitted (ie: hockey style checking) BUT ONLY if the contact pertains to the flow of the game. It is NOT permitted however to hit an opposing player in the back at any point. Checks may only be from the front or side of a player.

Soccer-Goals can be scored by way of a kick or by header. Many of the offensive runs to goal are also similar to that of soccer also.

Football-Teammates may block opposing players to open up passing and scoring lanes to create scoring chances (similar to a blocking fullback).
