How to play soccer on a trampoline

With the start of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Soccer fever has taken over. We have a fun way to get in on the action from the comfort of your own backyard. Yes, you guessed it, it involves a trampoline!

With the following how-to instructions, I will show you how to easily transform your backyard trampoline into a soccer field for little or no cost.



Step 1. Required Items:

1. Round or Rectangular Trampoline with Safety Net
2. Bright colored string rope
3. A few balls in various sizes

Step 2: Assembly

With the bright string rope you have you must go through every so many holes in the safety net (See picture below). It is sometimes helpful to measure out your desired goal size and mark it with scotch tape or painter's tape. The size of the goal will depend on the size of the balls and the size of the trampoline.

Step 3: Simple Playing Rules

1v1 (one on one)

Each player is the goalie and the scoring player.

You cannot use your hands to score, only to defend your goal. 

Obviously if the ball hits the inside the goal its a goal.
         
2v2 or more (preferable on larger trampolines)
 
Double down and draw out 2 goals (one on each side).
Each team will have their own goal.
                        
Besides that all the rules are the same.

Lastly, remember to have fun but also be safe. Safety net should be well secured at all times.
