Goals are scored by stopping the ball in the end zones.

If the ball is kicked out of play the opposition get a goal - encourage keeping the ball in play, try not to 'kick it out'.

Used as an arrival activity - as players arrive add them to a team. This could start as 2v3 for example, then as more players arrive make the teams even, (3v3) then create an overload and keep doing this untli all players have arrived, so 3v4, 4v4, 5v4, 5v5. Then let the game play out.
