These are the goals. In a real game you'd have a whole team fighting for the ball and a goalie on each end, but with just us it's like this. I'll play offense first.
Now imagine I'm swimming in front of you and I have the ball. I'm gonna either pass it to one of my teammates or shoot it toward the goal, and you've gotta stop me. You can wait for me to throw and try to block it, or you can tackle me if you think I'm gonna try to score.
