Man builds life-size foosball for kids in his town

There’s life-size Monopoly, life-size Jenga, and life-size Mousetrap.

However, up until recently, there was never life-size human foosball.

Mark Cacka lives in a small town about 50 miles south of Hutchinson, Minnesota. He created the game for kids in town because the local school closed down.

“We wanted to keep local kid’s activities around and have something for kids to do,” Cacka told HLN. “We had kick ball and a bean bag tournament, and a street dance. What happened was some of the team sports and kickball tournament started phasing out where it’s harder to get players together ... I want stuff for our kids to stay in town.”

That’s why Kacka designed and built the table, which forces players to stay stationary by holding onto the bar with both hands as they attempt to kick the ball into the opposition’s goal.
