Scoring
Around the Academy:
Drop goal
Drop goal

A drop goal not only looks spectacular, it is also a handy way of adding one point to your team's score from open play.

A drop goal is scored when a player kicks the ball from hand through the opposition's goal posts, above the crossbar.

However, the ball must touch the ground between being dropped and kicked.

So no cheating, otherwise the referee will have a few words to say to you.
