To the consternation of many parents (most dads), it takes far too long from birth to being a candidate for the national soccer squad. To make up for the wee-uns lack of walking, running, and kicking skills. 22 dads (or moms) line up in the formation of a foosball table and hold their respective offspring
by the armpits. This allows for swinging the the little tykes between said parent's legs very similarly to the way that foosball figures are pivoted around the rotating bars of a foosball table.
A suitable ball is an inflatable beachball.
Rules include parents not being allowed to move outside a specified grid location, parents not being allowed to hit the ball other than with their infant. Like in competion foosball, but mostly for child safety concerns, the infants are not allowed to be spun at excessive speeds.

I'm concerned about the lack of regulation here. |
|
| |
Are there different classes for varying baby weights? |
|
| |
Are the children helmeted, allowing both ends to be used for striking? |
|
| |
Perhaps the parent's feet could be strapped in to the playing field for optimal results. |

My neighbor's kid loves it when I swing him from the arms to kick a ball around, laughs like a maniac. I would do this on a casual basis though, no league for me. Can't we just arrange a time to meet at the park? |

Wait- first I have to get a kid. I'm off to do some kidnapping, maybe I can get a ransom when we're done playing. Tootles! |

I'm off to do some ... well ... kid-making. |

Hey- I should try that. It it hard? |

Not having a strong grasp of the term "foosball," I was picturing fathers put their babies on their feet to hoist them (which they also love). I guess that's hackeysack, not foosball. |

This should go with Cat Soccer in the "Sport: Cute" section. |
