• an energy dissipative core having an irregular shape;
• a pliant moisture-resistant, covering closing said core to form an irregularly-shaped inner body;
• and
• a pliant, substantially puncture-resistant, exterior casing enveloping said inner body, said exterior casing and cover loosely enveloping said core preventing said projectile from rolling when impacted wherein said game projectile has a weight in a range from 2 to 8 pounds and a horizontal girth ranging from 18 to 42 inches and a vertical girth ranging from 12 to 36 inches.

A method of playing a soccer-like game on ice between at least a first player and a second player, comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a game projectile comprising an energy dissipative core, a pliant, moisture-resistant cover enclosing said core to form an irregularly shaped inner body, and a pliant, substantially puncture-resistant, exterior casing enveloping said inner body, said exterior casing and cover loosely enveloping said core preventing said projectile from rolling when impacted wherein said projectile has a weight in a range from 2 to 8 pounds;
• (b) providing a first goal on a first end of said playing area and a second goal on a second end of said playing area opposite said first side;
• (c) advancing said game projectile across said playing area by the use of a player's legs, torso or arms;
• (d) awarding points to said first player for moving said game projectile across said playing area through said second goal member;
• and
• (e) awarding points to said second player for moving said game projectile across said playing area through said first goal member.

A method of playing a soccer-like game on a substantially smooth surface between at least a first player and a second player, comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a game projectile comprising an energy dissipative core, a pliant, moisture-resistant cover enclosing said core to form an irregularly shaped inner body, a pliant, substantially puncture-resistant, exterior casing enveloping said inner body;
• (b) defining a playing area using at least four boundary markers;
• (c) providing a goal on a first end of said playing area and a second goal on a second end of said playing area opposite said first side;
• (d) advancing said game projectile across said playing area by said first player toward a selected one of said first and second goals by the use of a player's legs, torso or arms;
• (e) advancing said game projectile across said playing area by said second player toward the other of said first and second goals by the use of a player's legs, torso or arms;
• and
• (f) awarding points to a player for moving said game projectile from said playing area through said opponent's selected goal.
