Snookball is a hybrid activity mixing billiards and football.
The game principles are based on billiards; however, the balls are replaced by footballs and the pool cue by a pair of shoes.

The name Snookball comes from a legendary billiards shot: the snooker, which occurs when a straight-line shot is made impossible by an opponent’s ball. A Snookball occurs if a player facing this situation manages to pocket their own ball by performing a scoop shot over the opponent’s ball. When a Snookball is successful, the player who made the shot can remove one of their opponent’s pocketed balls.
