Anyone want to join me (and Mike) in forming a crab soccer mini / fun league?

Ever since High School gym I've loved and dreamed of continuing playing the sport.

It's the game walking on all fours but with bum pointed toward the floor - and kicking around a huge but lightweight ball.

I'm sure a ball of that sort wouldn't be too hard to find but the trickiest thing is the flooring needs to be padded (and not provide grass stains methinks). In HS we played in the wrestling room on their mat. (NOT optimal at all to share space with active wrestling, they warned.)

I had tons of fun, played well, despite never being athletic. It might help me to be short? Or at least not hurt. Of course, I had a different body type then, but I want to try and need the exercise...

Anyone else in?

I played that game a lot in gym class in elementary school, and it is a lot of fun indeed.  Too bad I don't live in South Florida.

I don't know if I'd be in a league, but I'll come out and play once.  I remember that game being very tiring.

I had a motor that could go all day as a kid (this also was an elementray school game for me) but I bet it would kill me to play it now. Sadly, I'm too far away as well or I would give it a go.

Thanks Tommy, Phis, and Dave -

I'm probably now the same with my stamina. So out of shape! Sigh.

Wish I'd also played in Elementary school and more often in HS gym. Could not get enough. I had a crazy metabolism, not sure if that helps in sports.

Mike surely could do it, I think. Darn him - JK!

It's where you crawl on your palms and feet on the floor and try to kick the ball in the goal that way
