About this activity
Pool soccer is a combination of the table game pool and the field sport soccer. The rules are the same as pool, however, instead of using a cue and billiard balls, the game is played on a giant table and the balls are kicked with the feet. The players have the choice of playing an 8-ball or 9-ball pool game, however, players are often encouraged to create their own rules for the game. Games are held with two teams, which can range in size from 1-3 players.
