Make a Team That Suits Your Needs

It's important for new players to understand what role each character on their team will play. In general, teams should have at least one character who is intended for scoring goals, with other characters serving roles like dribbling and passing the ball to the Goal-Getter, tackling opponents to clear the way for the Goal-Getter to shoot, and defending the home side.

Don't forget to choose your Captain carefully as well as part of your team composition, as this is the character who will start off each point, either holding the ball, trying to steal it from the opponent, or trying to grab it from the center.
