How to play

Each team is to have a corner of the hall that is their base. In front of their base they place the post.
At the start of the game the first person of the team comes onto the pitch and plays football in an attempt to knock down the opponents posts.
If a post is knocked down then the person who scored the goal must raise their hand so that the score is recorded. The team member the goal was scored against must return to stand their post up.
On the command change the team members on the field must return to their base and the number two player comes out to play. And so it goes on
No more than one player from each team on the pitch at a time.
The usual rules of football with regard to handball etc. apply.
The winning team is the one with the most goals.
The game leader may vary the time on pitch for each group of players.
Care should be taken that the post if knocked down will not hit someone so as to hurt them.
