Actually, in HS (late '60s), we played a similar game on a football field called Speedball.

The differences are:

Used either a volleyball or soccer ball

The person with the ball must either "air dribble" or dribble the ball on the ground when moving.

No real tackling, but there was plenty of contact.

You could score three ways:

Throw or kick the ball between the uprights below the crossbar - 1 pt.
Drop kick the ball through the uprights over the crossbar - 2 pt.
Throw the ball the ball between the uprights below the crossbar and is caught in the air by a teammate - 3 pt.

Fun game, especially for us nerds who would routinely beat the "athletes" in gym class.

On the internet broadcast it is refreshing to listen to the sounds of the game without having commentators. You can actually here the plate umpire, players and the crowd without listening to the gums flap in the booth. ESPN should try this. Plenty of camera angles with an excellent picture.
What a blast it must be to call at this level.
