Description
Place 5 discs with soccer balls on them on each endline. Play 6 v 6 in the area. When the ball rolls out of bounds, it should be rolled in underhand by a player. The object of the game is to score by knocking down one of the balls off a disc on your teams attacking endline. If a player knocks a ball off, he scores 5 points. If he passes through the middle of the balls on the ground, he scores 3 points.
