Description
Two teams position themselves facing each other. Each team has a goal marked by a bench or two posts. A ball is placed in the center. The facilitator calls out a number, and the players with that number from both teams start to try to score in the opponent's goal, which must be unguarded. Alternatively, two numbers can be called at a time for a more strategic game, or players can be divided into four teams with as many goals.
