Circuit Soccer Diagram

Each player organizes their six pieces on their respective side of the board.
(A maximum of 2 players are allowed in each team's own Goalie Box)

The Ball is placed in the middle of the board.

Players roll for who goes first.

Rules

Players take turns rolling a die and making that number of moves. For a move, you can choose to either move one of you pieces or the ball.

When moving a ball, choose a direction to slide along the board. The ball moves that way until obstructed by either a player or the side of the board. Below is an example.

Final thoughts

I originally had the idea for this game in middle school and slowly developed it throughout high-school and college. It contains a unique balance of strategy and chance, all centered around the narrative of soccer.
