The rules of 4+1 football are similar to five-a-side, but each player must take a turn playing as star man. When the star man scores, the goal is worth two, and when the keeper is star man, the teams must play without the keeper. It makes for a faster pace as the teams try to get the ball to the star man and they tend to shoot from anywhere when there is no keeper.
