Safety Considerations
-
Need to use foam or bladder balls so that players do not get hurt if they are inadvertently hit with a ball.

Variation

Toss out 40 tennis balls and balls that go in the goal stay there till they are all gone. Then the team with the lowest number of balls in their goal is the winner.

Teaching Tips
-
If the referee calls out the scores as they happen, teams will gang up on the teams with the lowest goals against, and the eventual outcome is likely to be a very close score.
-
For younger children you may wish to enlarge the goal size, since they are less accurate in their shots.
