Human Foosball

This is like the table-top football/soccer game, but played with real people on a real soccer field.

You section the field into "strips" cross-wise, so that each section is about 10 feet wide. Alternate team players by strip, so that the goalie and guards are Team A in the first strip (Team A's goal side). The next strip would contain Team B's forwards, facing Team A. Strip 3 has Team A again, facing toward Team B's goal. Ad so on, thusly:

[nevermind - my painstakingly accurate diagram doesn't conform well to this venue. Use your imaginations - it'll look like a foosball table]

You cannot leave your strip, and must only face forward - no turning (although mild twisting is allowed).

I have tried the game thus far with a group and it's fun - good for kids because you don't have to run too much. So this much of the game is baked.

To bring it back to "half-baked" status, I'd like to add long poles that cross the field. Each team member in a strip has to hold on to the pole with both hands and not let go. This way, when on player moves sideways to intercept a ball, all the players in the strip have to move. Much more like foosball that way. AND the crowd can hold onto the handles and move the players (thanks [yama]!)
