Notes
Game: 2 people at a time may play (OR you can do two teams and have one person play from each team, on each turn). Agree on the order to go through all of the arches. The first person kicks their ball toward the first arch, then the second person kicks theirs toward the first arch.
Continue through all the arches, each person getting one turn to kick one time, until the first person goes through them all.
