Improvised games equipment

| 2 Comments

I was at a youth group the other night and came across an improvised 'Heath Robinson' Go-Pak Table Tennis table! How cool is this ...... and it also allows for some very weird trick shots:

I'd be up for photos of any other improvised games equipment you've encountered or developed!

We used to have to improvise basket ball hoops with a young person stood on a chair...

Not surprisingly there is a large opportunity for cheating playing like that!

Not improvised equipment as such, and no photos available, but we did used to play football in the church crypt - which had two massive stone pillars in the middle of the 'pitch'. It added several interesting dynamics to the game:

As with most hall-based football, the ball never needed to be thrown on. The proximity of the pillars to the centre of the wall, meant that the goal mouths were offset towards one or other of the corners. And again lots of opportunities for trick shots.
