My company does not have this system but I hope they do and If they can allow and let their employees play some sort of sport like Volleyball or Cricket or any other physical outdoor game then it'll be best to make them stress free.
Will it be OK to let you know your employees play during their break?

Well, break time in any workplace is very important. Human beings are not robots and they need breaks in between their work to relax and rejuvenate. This also improves their efficiency and productivity. And that would be beneficial for the business too with more happy and productive employees.
Well, the sports that you mentioned will require some good amount of physical space and that might be a constraint.
I know that many corporates have gym facilities that can be used by the employees. My husband's company has it. They also have a refreshing corner to catch up with chit chat, coffee and play some board games. My cousin works for a new start up and most people there are young in their twenties. I was impressed to see a table tennis, foosball and some exercising balls in their refreshing room. These youth used these facilities to relax between work. They had carrrom, snakes and ladders kind of games too.

That's why I said in the break time so everyone can play or at least saw them play
I believe that doing work break time, you can decide to do anything that you want to do as long as it doesn't prevent you from getting back to your work once the break time is over.
This is a very good idea. In this way, the employees get back to work feeling refreshed.

I like to play games And wish we have such system at work too to help ever one feel relaxed
I like playing games too. I love this idea very much. It is a great chance for the employees to exercise their bodies as well.
As long as they are abiding by the rules of the workplace where they work, one should have no problem with what they do in their break time. If the workplace rules say that employees cannot play during break, then should not.
These days, most corporates allow different things to relax minds of employees during break time. Games and sports are part of that. It would rather improve their work quality.

Work is not suooosed to be so serious. A little joke, a little play won't be out of place. That's one thing I liked about my former workplace. We joked and played when we could. And we worked when we could.
This is actually the same way that I see it because everyone will definitely have a different way they want to spend their break and you are not going to force anyone to actually get involved in playing.
I totally agree there. Workplace should not be very restricted. No one likes that. Now a days more and more workplaces are giving employment happiness and mental health a lot of importance. Happy employees are more productive employees. So, workplace should accommodate things that would help employees be happy and then be more productive.
You don't also have to monitor and restrict employees even till their break period. Break periods are what it is, "Break" and your staff should be free to do anything this period.
No one likes to be monitored and policed all the time. Employees are adults and they would be more responsible and committed if they get to enjoy the freedom. They can use their break time in any way they like to relax as long it's not something strictly prohibited at work place like indulging in alcoholic beverages or drugs etc.
