Is what they’re playing an actual game? Are there official rules or is it something they made up? I’m so curious.

It's called Spikeball, they are playing it pretty casually and it can get a lot more intense. I played it countless times and it never gets old. I love that game!

He is the equivalent of your brother playing with the unplugged controller

Exactly this. Because if he didn’t see that shadow you know he would be chasing after the real ball and messing up the game
