The game includes two metal goalkeepers, one in blue, the other in red, except for flesh-colored faces and knees. Each measures 1" wide at maximum, 1 3/4" tall at maximum, and 3/8" thick at maximum. A rigid metal wire, colored the same as the goalkeeper, is attached in the middle of each back; the end of the wire is bent into a round loop with the end bisecting it.

The goalie wires are places through holes in the back of each of the goal targets, and manipulated by players using the wire handles. Each goal target is made of white triangular cardboard sides and a cardboard frame around a soft green mesh in the back. Each goal measures 4 1/2" wide, 3 1/2" deep at bottom, 0" deep at top, and2 3/4" tall.
