Soccer Shed

Just when you think you've thought of everything you can do with that garden shed ... inspiration strikes. One of the stakes on the rebounder gave up the ghost towards the end of the fall season. So I packed it away in the shed and didn't think much of it.

On to the inspiration ...

We set out to improvise, without the aid of a rebounder. Stacking a bunch of railroad ties on top of each other didn't work too well. It seems that the boy has the capability to strike the ball with enough velocity to knock over the timbers.

On a whim, we started kicking the ball at the shed. Within minutes, we had come up with a new handball-like game, using the face of the shed as a rebounder. Hit the door and get ten points. Nail a hinge and it's worth twenty. Smack the latch and you get fifty.

It's a shed and a soccer rebounder!
