While blocking the goals is a good defense, you do not want to block off the lower goals completely, or two things could happen:


You could drive up your opponents score by forcing them to shoot for the raised goal (not likely)

Or you could cut off the supply of balls available to your team in the next period, because any balls scored by your opponent are returned to your team. Every ball scored by your opponent into the lower goal gives you the opportunity to score 3 points. I guess you will have to decide what to do based on if you have a good shooter.
