 * 1 Goal Defender

The Field has Zero Gravitation and the mass of the players is equalized to 10 kilos (No matter the actual weight/mass) Everyone carries a VacuBaller (A device that catches and accelerates the Ball. Four controls can add curves and spin to the ball trajectory. The Goal Defenders have Net Ballers that are four times the size., but can not launch the ball.
