COIN TOSS

Before the kickoff, the team captains meet mid-field for the coin toss. When the

coin is in the air, the visiting team makes the call (press Left/Right on the Control

Pad to select Heads or Tails).

The winner of the coin toss chooses to kick or receive the opening kickoff (press the A Button

or B Button) while the loser chooses to defend either the Home or Visitor end of the field

(press the A Button or B Button). The teams then take the field.

KICKOFF

To kickoff, press the A Button to set the kicker in motion. The Power Meter begins moving

upward—the higher the meter, the higher the power. Press Left/Right on the Control Pad to

aim the kick. Press the A Button again to stop the meter and kick the ball.

ONSIDE KICK

If your team is losing late in the game and you’ve just scored, try an onside kick and attempt to

regain control of the ball.

To make an onside kick:

1. Press B Button and then the A Button or R Button to get in the onside kick formation.

❖

To return to a normal kick, press the B Button and the B Button again.

2. Press the A Button to perform the Onside Kick. The ball is kicked a short distance and your

team can try to recover the ball.
