The Competition:  

Please help us out by bringing your own correct size ball for your age and put your name on it.

Each contestant receives up to three practice kicks followed by fifteen consecutive kicking attempts from the 12-yard penalty line. 

·     Ages 10 & 11 use a size 4 ball,

·     Ages 12, 13, & 14 use a size 5 ball.

All age groups kick from the same distance. In the event a tie breaker is necessary, it will be conducted as follows: each contestant will have the opportunity to kick 3 times from a position three yards behind the penalty kick line, if the contestants are still tied then they will move back another three yards for an additional three kicks each until one of the contestants either outscores the other.

The top point earner in each age/gender division is declared the winner and is eligible to compete at the next level (district).  Winners may progress to the district, regional, and state competitions. International champions are chosen on the basis of state-level results.
