I’ve had splatoon 2 since launch and I recently started playing again and there’s this new mode with footballs that I cannot figure out for the life of me and couldn’t find rules online lol. Someone help please I’m so confused.

Just read the rules on the lobby when it's on (press - button) Clam blitz is the more complex mode but also incredibly fun because it allows for amazing plays. Hyper focusing on the rm/tower/zone doesn't apply in clams. You can defend, you can collect clams to pass to teammates or jump in, you can slay opponents, you can sneak around and break their basket like a ninja. It's super fun.
I think clam blitz is the hardest mode since it requires the most cohesive team plays, but it’s still fun!
Basically you have to collect clams and shoot them into the opponents goal. But the goal is barricaded and you have to open it by shooting a football at it. To get a football, you need to collect 10 clams. Once you do, your location is marked and enemies can see your movements so it’s very difficult to get a football in the goal without getting SPLAT.
After you shoot a football in the goal there is a short amount of time that it is no longer barricaded and this is when you can throw clams at it to score more points. Points:
The time is extended the more clams you throw at it. Once the time runs out the goal is barricaded again and you need to collect 10 clams to break the barrier and score more points.
I think that’s basically it. Tips:
Sorry if some of this stuff was obvious like too much information but I just wanted to get everything covered.
one more thing to add on: if you kill somebody they'll drop the clams they're holding, but only at most 4. so if you kill somebody with 3 clams, they'll drop 3, but if they have 9 they'll still only drop 4.
Strategy wise, another thing is that you can throw clams to your teammates too. A common strategy is for two people to get close to the goal together and then only make a power clam once they're in range. Since the enemy can see where power clams are, this lets you get in more stealthily.

ask r/ClamBlitzGang They will help you get better and learn fundamentals as well as which weapons to use and show you some tricks and tips.
You mean clam blitz? It's actually a lot of fun! You collect the small clams scattered around until you get a football clam then you try and chuck that in the opponents net before they splat you!
Edit : Now I think about it, the football clam is to break the opposing teams barrier on their net, after that anyone can lob in any clams until the barrier goes back up.
