The rule of Arena Flagonball are the same as Ground Flagonball, however it has some extra rules that only apply to arenas.

The game is played using a spherical ball 28 inch in circumference in game play, known as the football. Two teams of eleven players each compete to get the ball into the other team's goal area, thereby scoring a 'Flag' or a goal.

The team that scores the most Flags at the end of the game is the winner; if both teams have scored an equal number of Flags then the game is a draw.

Other than goalkeepers, players may not handle the ball with their hands or arms during play. Players do use their hands during a throw-in, after the ball has gone out of the play. Although players usually use their feet to move the ball around, they may use any part of their body for example forehead, chest or arms. Within normal play, all players are free to play the ball in any direction and move throughout the pitch, save for playing the ball 'Offside'.

Offside is state in which a player is in an offside position when the ball is touched or played by a teammate, he may not become actively involved in the play. A player is in an offside position if he is closer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the line of defender's.

The goal area is different in the arenas as the player have hoover boots, thus the FA (Flagonball Association) made the goals area three circle bars free floating. Each circle goal is illuminated with the teams colours, and also can be moved around the arena.

The aim for defender is to defend and move the goals around, directed by the goalkeeper and the attackers aim to gain possession of the ball and score in the other teams goals.
