Rocker (Game)
The game of Rocker is a fast paced amalgamation of elements of Rugby, American Football and Football (Soccer). Two opposing teams play on a grass surface approximately half the size of a rugby field with two goals, one at either end. Each team has 11 players; one goal keeper and ten out field players, however, the goal keeper can move onto the field of play. The ball is passed either via a rugby pass or through an overhead pass as in American Football. In the same vein as rugby, the ball carrier is the only person who can be tackled. Tackles must be in the same way as rugby, with arms wrapping around the opponent. After the ball carrier is tackled and the knees of the carrier hit the floor, the ball is dead. It must then be restarted using a rugby pass. The ball is turned over to the other team via two methods; 1) After three plays (i.e. the ball being made dead) or 2) through an in-air interception by the other team. If the ball hits the ground from a failed pass, it is turned over. Goals are scored by the ball carrier kicking the ball into the goal (it must bounce or half-volley). If the ball is on the ground, players may shoot as in football.

The game was created by the College of Charleston Men's Rugby Club and is used as a conditioning exercise and as a change from rugby practices, while still incorporating key rugby features.
