Game Type:

Sport

8-10 per side

Field:

Baseball diamond, soccer field

Equipment needed:

3 soccer balls, one playground ball, soccer goals or cones,  two straitjackets, baseball bat (optional)

Time:

30 min

Rules:

HippoDroom is kickball except at each base there is a soccer goal with a ball. When players round bases they need to kick the soccer ball into the goal in order to proceed.  Goals are manned by people in straitjackets, though they can only defend two goals at one time. The defense can choose to man which goals to slow any advance, and can move goals during a play.There can only be 7 defenders on the field at all times not including the straitjacketed goalies

Defenders get runners out by either hitting the goal posts with the playground ball, hitting the runner with the playground ball, tagging the runner with the ball, or throwing a ball to another defender who is touching the goal before the runner gets there (force out)

 

Alternate rules:

Players can hit the ball with a bat instead of kicking it.
