Q.
A. Goalie War® is a new Xtreme sport where one soccer goalkeeper competes against another in a timed battle of skill, wit and endurance. In this fast paced, highly charged competition, two goalkeepers square off in a Goalie War® arena blasting punts, throws and kicks at each other in an attempt to score as many goals as they can before the referee's whistle is heard ending the match. Whoever scores more goals than his/her opponent, wins the game and advances to the next round until there is only one warrior left standing. View movie.

Players can have up to 6 Ball Handlers positioned anywhere around their half of the field. If you can’t bring your own Ball Handlers, other tournament players and spectators may fill in.
