2. Goalkeepers are captains and lead the team talk.

2. Communication

1. Teams tend to start pressing the goalkeeper more and more as they realise the keeper is playing like an outfielder when their team is in possession.
2. This stretches out the game and creates space for both teams to play into.
3. Give a bonus point for outfielders if they intercept a pass from the goalie. This livens up the match!

1. Keepers start the game with a kick out
2. Give each team two time outs: Called by the team captain, which give 3 minutes for a team talk so that they can work out a strategy to win the game.

1. Goalkeeper left foot, right foot, stick saves/touches are all worth 2 points for the first touch and 1 thereafter.
