Pitch roughly 450ft x 280ft (137m x 85m) for a full game, smaller for a party version.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Players advance the ball by kicking it, or by bouncing and hand-passing it forward.

2

A player may not run more than a few steps while holding the ball without bouncing or soloing it off the foot.

3

Kicking the ball over the crossbar between the posts scores one point.

4

Kicking or hand-passing the ball into the netted goal below the crossbar scores a goal, worth several points.

5

Opponents may block, shoulder-charge fairly, or dispossess the ball carrier within the rules.

6

The team with the higher total score at the final whistle wins.
