Scooter Soccer

This is very fun game to play and it doesn't take a lot of effort to set up. I hope you guys like the sport/game I made up. Don't forget to vote for this in the sport invention contest. I would really appreciate that.

Step 1: What You Need To Play

First you will need a ball, obviously. I recommend a soccer ball, but a basketball may work too.
Secondly, you will need scooters. You will need one scooter per player. The game is most fun with 4+ players. Two forwards, two goalies. Finally, you will need a goal. You can use anything that will catch or stop the ball when you shoot at it. I just used a cooler and two pieces of wood. Yes, things that simple can be used as a goal.

Step 2: Video of How You Score and Play.

Step 3: Rules.

There is not many rules, but the ones I have made are here:
1. At least one foot must remain on the scooter at all times.
2. There is no pushing another off a scooter. If this rule is broken a two minute time penalty will be on the pusher.
3. You start the ball at your goal.
4. Have fun!!! :D


Now go play this cool game with your friends or whoever. You are welcome to add or take away any rule you come up with or don't like. As I said have fun and don't forget to vote for this Instructable. Thank's for viewing!

Nice Game, everyone on my street has a scooter so it will be great!

[Faraith]

I played this in my garage before i saw the instructable. Its a fun game, but I dont know enough people with scooters (Im 17) and i dont know of an empty lot near by. Other than that, nice job. 5/5

[Bert99]

[Bartboy]

You wear crocks!

[eddy14777]

i wear crocs too

[Bartboy]

for the same reasons?

[bannana inventor]

Just when I go outside and don't feel like putting real shoes on.

[Bartboy]

But (judging from pics and stuff) most boys don't wear them, and we do!

[bannana inventor]

Well I don't wear them to school or anything. I wear my nike+ saya's.

[Bartboy]

Exactly! We are life form type B. Too lazy to put on socks, not lazy enough to go barefoot.

[bannana inventor]

Amen brother. lol

[Bartboy]

Salute the constitution! (im Canadian, but whatever.)

[bannana inventor]

[ry25920]

Polo with a scooter? Brilliant... 4.5

[bannana inventor]

Thank you!!! I haven't played polo before but I guess it is kind of. If you want to, can you vote for this in the Sport and Book contest? Please and Thank You. :D

Is this in any way a response to the skateboard-lacross instructable posted recently?

[bannana inventor]

I promis you it isn't. I have been playing this game for 4 years. This is totally my idea.

[shooby]

Oh, I didn't mean that you'd copied it or something. It's a good idea, and different from the extreme lacrosse idea. It's bound to be, because in one you have to use your hands for controlling your ride, in the other for controlling the ball. Skateboard soccer is pretty fun too, you make a rule that your feet can't touch the ground, so you have to 'tic-tac' or switch to move and hit the ball

[bannana inventor]

Oh, I didn't think that. I was just saying that. The skateboarding version sounds pretty cool but I can't skate that well.

[shooby]

Yeah, it does normally end up being a pretty slow game. Old-school boards are better suited for it, a little wider and more stable.

[bannana inventor]

Yeah, that's true.

[killerjackalope]

You should really get some images of gameplay for a start, your link for the video doesn't work, the video could be embedded instead and a bit more stuff about playing would be nice... It's not a half bad game though I prefer using a razor scooter, it's much less stable and inherently more fun for that reason...
