Another variation on
football, played mainly by
British schoolchildren.
Teams: The players are split into two
teams; the
goalkeeper and
the rest.
Objective: The
outfield players must put the ball into the
goal, but they may only score with
headers (goals scored with the head) and
volleys (goals scored without the ball hitting the ground).
Scoring: The outfield team scores
one point for every
header or
volley they score with. The
goalkeeper scores points for either every shot that goes
wide OR for every ball he/she
catches. The goalkeeper gets the choice of wides or catches before the game begins.
Game duration: The game lasts until one team reaches are predetermined number of points, usually
11.
Referee: Controversially, the
goalkeeper acts as
referee although unless the outfield is extremely
violent, or
stupid, there aren't many fouls.
