Human Table Football is a fun, large-scale adaptation of the classic tabletop football (foosball) game. Here's how you can play it:

Equipment Needed:

  • Pitch: An enclosed area with boundaries and markings similar to a football pitch.
  • Goals: One at each end of the pitch.
  • Poles: Horizontal poles that players will hold onto, placed across the width of the pitch at regular intervals.
  • Ball: A standard football.
  • Players: Two teams, each with an equal number of players, typically 5-6 per team.

Setup:

  • Position the Poles: Install the horizontal poles across the pitch. The poles should be fixed in place so they can't move forward or backward but can rotate. The poles should be set at heights comfortable for players to hold onto.
  • Assign Players: Divide players into two teams. Assign each player to a specific pole and position, mimicking the layout of a foosball table (e.g., defenders, midfielders, forwards).
  • Players Hold On: Players must hold onto the poles with both hands and are not allowed to let go during play. They can only move side-to-side along the length of the pole.
