Overview

This learning activity focuses on kicking with power and accuracy. The objective of the game is to kick the ball and knock over the other team's targets. While doing so, students will also be defending their targets by trapping the ball. This game is formatted to be played competitively (team against team), but teachers could modify this game to be a continuous format by having students be responsible to reset the targets.
