Our strategies make the assumption that we'll never need to go into the middle and that if we may miss the middle we'll save the shot for the outside ... meaning we'll never miss and therefore never need to go into the middle to retrieve. At least that's the theory, though teams may very well incur 40pts of penalties just to make us miss 10+ balls.
In my opinion you should be able to climb the goal and block points from being scored and then move around a little and get out, I don't think going over balls will be as big a problem as you anticipate because if you take it slow going in you should me the balls out of your way then be able to back up the way you came in, if need be, to get out
