To score play the ball to your corresponding player in the end zone.
Play this game for about 5 minutes
After 5 minutes move one of the black teams from the end zone to the other side. You should now have 2 of the same team colours in the end zone. For the teams to score they need to get the ball to their players in the end zone.
