Absurd games

| 4 Comments

I saw this picture which made me laugh. I reckon one of my old youth groups would have invented a great game that used this pitch to it's maximum fun and comedic potential.

This got me thinking about youth group games! I love the way that groups embrace certain games, how they often morph the rules to extract the maximum fun and how groups invent entirely new games. Here's to absurdity and shared laughter :-)

Well at least it's fair - one team would have a definite advantage if the pitch were at 90'...

But for the side that have the trees are they an advantage or a disadvantage?

Depends on the objective of the game !

Our school netball court was much like that - we always had a DISTINCT advantage as the home side. Though even we struggled when it was snowing!
