Epic New sport

[kieman123]

Hi guys
I have invented a new sport and would appreciate it if other people started playing it. It is really fun and is called FlyBall. I know that that is a dog sport but trust me this has nothing to do with it. Its a cross between tennis and football(socker if ur american). U use the tennis racket to bounce a tennis ball on and pass and shoot ito a goal. it is a 7 aside game(1 Goalie, 2 defenders, 2 midfield and 2 strikers.). You tackle with ur rackets and the pitch is split into thirds. the goalie cant go out of his own third. so post back please and get people playing it(advice would be appreciated as i want this to go big)

Kind of like a game of LaCrosse where you don't hold possession of the ball?

How big is the goal? How exactly does one tackle with a racket?

Have you looked into hurling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurling)? That might be an even closer match than tennis/soccer. What you described sounds like hurling but with a racket instead of a stick.

Have you tested it out yet? Anything in particular you noted?

Like Valadil, I was going to mention hurling. Depending on how players are allowed to touch the ball, it could be very much like hurling indeed.
