PURPOSE

The object is to knock the 'coconut' (ball) off the 'tree' (tall marker) with a pass.

HOW IT WORKS


Students work in groups of 2 and take turns going back and forth.

The aim is to knock the ball off of the marker with a pass using the instep of the foot.

5 points for knocking the 'coconut' off clean, 3 points for hitting the 'tree'.

Shorten the distance to make it easier.

Have two or more balls to aim at.
