Sockey
Sockey is a game that mixes hockey,handball, and soccer. The game is played on a 25 ft long field, with walls as boundries. The nets are a little smaller then your typical size hockey nets. There are two players per side in sockey (one goalie/one fielder. The object of the game is to us your hands to score 7 goals before your opponents do, while never leaving your knees.  Contact is allowed, but no elbowing or punching.  You can only hit the ball with your hands, and are not allowed to pick the ball up unless it is a scoop pass.  If you commit a foul by either getting up from your knees, picking the ball up, or any contact foul then there is a penalty shot that is taken in the middle of the field.
