More and better video will likely be available from the other boats but I have to give @Betik credit for his new sport!

 
Good thing our boats come with brakes. I would hate to line up against an opposing team member and not have them.
 
I can see the next Jetboaters Poll now. "How many of you have sucked up a soccer ball?" Not me, I'm ballless!:oops:

See what you needed was a perfectly timed sub move to get the bow to drop just before impact of the ball to get some lift on it . Well or a bigger ball lol.
 
Going on business trip so I will not be able to upload GoPro footage until Friday or Saturday.
@Rick215HO hada go pro onboard so he might be able to upload before me.

Judging from Bruce video the camera does it no justice , just like it makes waves look small. You got to look at Bruce face to appreciate the entertainment value .

Final note: I was all over that ball, but it did not that ball once.

Not to raise expectations, but there are two scenes that if I capture them right they will be a bit hit
 
With @Betik and @Bruce / More Jetboat Soccer from another angle...
 
Whip the back corner of the boat into the ball! Looks fun.
The timing is very tricky and the water around the is very turbulent. It a hard turn I send my family flying of their seat
 
thats freaking amazing. Put me in coach, im ready. LOL

more fun to watch than world cups gonna be...since no [flag] :D

Timing is VERY tricky in bumpy water! The kids, me included, love to do donuts, as my son calls them, but I don't care to do them in choppy water. You hit a bad wave at the wrong time and everyone ends up in the floor and hurt somehow. Then I'm getting that 'look' from the wife. Ask me how I know this!:rolleyes:
 
Looks like a fun way to kill people.
 
Love it, too bad it's another fun gathering I missed!

Redneck polo?

Actual competition could certainly get dangerous but a dribble drill amongst friends was safe enough. It is good practice for dolphin chasing.

I think I saw @Betik trying to set an Offside Trap... lol.

This seems a lot more safe/fun with a 5v5 on jetskis they are low enough to get the ball into the air/spin slap it.
