It’s hard to think of soccer as an indoor game, but as the summer winds down and the weather turns colder, you’ll want to check these out.
The new Shoot & Scoot Soccer game from newcomer Diggin includes one low-profile goal and a funky half-soccer ball that has a superskid base. With the flat side down, the ball glides smoothly over low-pile carpeting. It’s a great way to get younger kids comfortable with basic skills, and it’s also really fun for older kids (and, of course, parents) to play more competitively.
Along a similar line is the Air Soccer Puck from Schylling. This battery powered disc glides on a cushion of air, sort of like a giant air hockey puck. It’s less of an introduction to soccer than it is a soccer-derived novelty game, but it’s good for hours of active, indoor entertainment. Sigh.
