Jorkyball is a form of two vs. two soccer that takes place in a 32 feet (9.80 meters) by 16 feet (4.80 m) Plexiglas cage on synthetic artificial turf with the possibility to pass, dribble, and score goals using the walls just like in squash. Played on a four-walled court with a net above, the entire court surface can be used, so there is no exterior. The game is played only with the feet, and hands are prohibited, as in soccer.
