Power and Accuracy are the key words to describe this first stage of the competition. Each athlete will have one chance to punt, throw and kick the ball for distance and accuracy. Points will be awarded for total combined yardage and with only one chance at a punt, throw and kick it could be a matter of inches that decides who gets points and who doesn’t.
Agility and speed are not the only words to describe this next stage of the competition, courage is another! The "Cannon" is a ball throwing machine that propels balls at speeds up to 100 mph. These soccer ball cannons can also control the direction of shots along with curves and risers. Each player has one minute to stop fifteen balls with each save being worth one point.
In this last stage of the competition, each player competes head to head in a timed battle of skill, wit and endurance. In this fast paced, highly charged competition, great athletes will square off in a Goalie War arena blasting punts, throws and kicks at each other, every six seconds, in an attempt to score as many goals as they can before the referee’s whistle ends the five minute match. The player with the most goals wins the match and earns points towards the competing in the championship round. View movie.
