What is Human Foosball?

Have you seen the Human Foosball crazy that's been circulating the internet lately?  If not, check out this and this.  Human foosball is a lot like soccer in that lots of humans are in an enclosed area kicking a soccer ball around trying to score goals.  The catch is that instead of roaming freely, in human foosball you hold on to long poles as if you're the little plastic dudes attached to rods in foosball.  Instead of running around, you can only slide back and forth across the field to get the ball.

It looks fun...but is it?

YES.  After seeing a video online, we built a human foosball court for a group birthday party.  A group of about 30 adults and kids got together for a Saturday afternoon.  We weren't quite sure how it would go over, but we end up playing game after game after game.  It was even more awesome than we'd hoped!

When we were planning for the event, we found lots of videos and pictures online but few instructions on how to create the actual playing area, so we decided to put together an online resource here.  Check it out and share your own human foosball stories!
