What street football games do you play?

I don't know what to call them so I'll call them street football games. Street football games are mainly found in those football cages like this

Street football games are usually individual based, as it's not really suited for team games. Street Football games ALWAYS result in the loser receiving "Batty Beats" AKA "Tan Arse".

Batty Beats is where the loser has to stand on the goal line and bend over and present their arse for the rest to kick the ball at. The distance from which you kick is down tou the group playing. I personally play minimum one step(It's a bit shit when everyone takes it from halfway and misses).

Here are some examples:

Heads and Volleys: Self-explanatory. You can only score with a head and volley. Volley's will have to be from a certain distance, usually outside the box if there is one.

Shooting game: This is a tan-arse-fest. Self-explanatory, shoot from behind a certain distance. Goalie loses all his lives = Tan arse.

For both of the above games, the goalie changes when the ball is caught, or kicked wide or over. Certain variations may allow you to kick it over or wide etc if the "Over saves all" rule is in play, or "Post saves all" etc.



Here is one that a friend of mine made up after he got a nasty injury which prevented him from playing to 100%.

The post game: This is more calm game. It's all about accuracy. You simply have to hit each post; Left, right, crossbar, and middle. For the middle one the football cage has to have another post running down just behind the goal, down the middle, this is extremely hard to hit. Once you have hit each post you are through. Last person through receives batty beats.


What variations do you play?

Knockouts

Long shots

Headers and volleys

And we call it red arsed

we take it from like 5 steps back

I've not played any for about 3 years

2 man, 3 and in, panna, and horse mainly

Knockouts is just singles?

Long shots is the shooting game?



I forgot a good team based game.

End to end.

Can be played with any even amount of players. The cage must ideally have two goals. You're not allowed out of your half, and you/your team are only allowed two touches collectively. You have to score past the other team. This is a fucking hectic game if the cage is small. You have continuously run and defend the goal only taking one touch then using your remaining touch to score from your own half. Very good fitness. You play to something like first to 10 goals. The amount of goals you win by is the aount of batty beats you give the opposition.

How I used to enjoy street football.. haven't played it for years.

I enjoyed "two touch".

That's a brilliant game actually, used to play in PE all the time.

I've played something like that before, have stay in your own half, three touches though, usually played it in a gym or some sort with a really small "field" (like 15-20 feet long), usually 3 v 3.

I think two touch is another name for end to end.

Can people please give a brief description of the game if it is not obvious.

We mostly knock a ball around in summer, that's about it.

I took a thunderous Roberto Carlos esque free kick right into my mates face last summer. Hit him across the face like a slap. Can't remember why. Was amazing though.

Okay basically we were in a smallish cage.. we used to play it with 2-4 people.. a goal on each side of the cage.. then you can only have two touches to defend your goal then try and score, obviously we had boundaries where we could go, but when we done it with 2 people it is basically what you said for End to End, couldn't leave your half and only had two touches to defend and score..

I played a game in PE called one touch

Basically you have about 20 people and a ball, you have one touch to try and hit another player (like Dodgeball). It's basically a mental session of people running around having balls booted at them

Didn't need an explanation then

Once in PowerLeague my mate was hanging off the bar, I was at the other end of the pitch and I smashed it and it hit him and he fell in the goal.

Done something like in an actual game of dogeball in PE, I'd catch the ball (eliminating the person who threw it at me) then sort of do a punting motion (you watch NFL, so you know what I mean ) and volley it at someone

It depends how many people we can get. If there's a fair few we'll go to the park. But at this time if any of us want a kick about it's usually around 4 of us. Easier to go to cage and play this sort of game.

Did anyone used to play SLAM?

What's SLAM?

Whats the game called where you have 1 person in goal and the rest basically play normal football trying to score in that one goal. The person who doesn't reach the target goals is out. So say theres 5 of ya.

1 in goal
4 outfield, 1st round all you do is score 1 to go through
next round only 3 people left so score2
next round only 2 left so score 3 and then you have the winner



we also used to play heads and volleys

I did.

Basically you keep kicking against the wall until someone misses and then they get an S and you play till someone spells out SLAM and they lose.

We used to call that 'world cup'. Score the amount of goals necessary and you're through to the next round.

Knockout james

We called SLAM wallsey

What about ASS? basically a few people stand in a circle and keep the ball up, if they let if drop or miss a player they get a letter. Whoever gets ASS stands againt the wall and gets the ball booted at their ass, if you hit them you get another shot, and so on.

All i play is no touches for shots in powerleague

Never heard of these games before
