Tire-Ball or Tireball. We haven't decided on the official name yet but in a nutshell this is Tireball. The necessary components are 2 to 4 participants, a tire and a ball. THe ball we have found works the best is an exact replica of Tom Hank's friend in the movie Castaway, Wilson. Complete with blood red handprint. My brother used it three years ago (yes he still dresses for halloween) for his costume. I could post pictures of the rest of it but just watch the movie. Anyway most of you don't know which brother I refer to. The other element is of course a tire. The first match was played on my birthday in September of 2004. It was played with bare feet. The object is to kick the ball through the tire (2 points) or to hit the tire (1 point). Participants take turns playing the ball from wherever it was last. Games are played to 11 or 15 depending on the whim of the participants. You can move the ball a reasonable distanceif it's in a vush or the garden but you can't wait all day for the tire to spin around. Other potential scoring optons that we are considering are a 3 point shot for a one touch ball or header and a 2 points with a free kick if you get the ball stuck in the tire. Good gamesmanship is appreciatted and so is thicker skin.
