ELEVATOR: (King of the Ring) Extension Everyone begins on the Top Floor with a ball. If someone touches your ball, you go down the elevator. When you land on the ground floor, you have 5 lives. If you touch someone else's ball, you get a bonus point. Get to 7 points and you move up. If someone touches your ball, you lose a point. End up with 3 points, you can move up again. The stronger players will judge their success on not getting sent down the elevator too often. Developing players will be happy to get back into the Main Game so we will still hold on to a positive competitive spirit for all abilities. www.powersoccer.ie 0861956424
