Underwater Football
Like old times.
Cole, Joe, and I were lamenting tonight about the good old days when we went to our friend Pete's for Underwater Football.
Underwater Football, must be over 18 to purchase
Equipment:
Toypedo (adult) toy; 1
Large in-ground swimming pool; 1
Players:
2 teams of at least 2 a piece, ideally 3
Rules:
Length of skinny ends of pool are goals, teams attempt to slap football on the goal that opponents defend by any means necessary. Play ends when one team scores 5 or so goals, win by two. Passing allowed above and underwater. Above carries risk of death. Allowed to wrestle football away from opponent by any means necessary. Upon touch down, throw off occurs. Possession decided by coin flip, defending team always defends deep end.
Intricacies:
A ball carrier, upon risk of imminent drowning, will pinch drowner, who will immediately let drownee up. Mouth to mouth is optional.
No sticking football in pool filter for trick plays and/or play action.
No sticking football down swim trunks.
No tickling.
Contacts are a bad idea, as alligator eyes are key.
Overpowering a ball carrier and stabbing him with the football is frowned upon, yet allowed.
