Lay out 4 cones in a line then opposite each cone place another cone 5-10 steps away, You should now have 2 parallel lines of 4 cones. Place a size 3 ball on top of the cones, these are your boats "cannons". Once you have set this up place 2 more cones (one down and one upside down on top of it) in front of the 2 lines and place a size 2 ball on that cone, this is your boats "heart" Aim of the game you start off with a size 2 football and that is your "cannonball" the teams have to use the cannonball to knock down the opposing teams cannons by kicking the size 2 and knocking the size 3s off of the cones. if a size 3 is knocked off of a cone then it becomes a cannonball and can be used to knock the rest of the balls off their cones. once all the size 3s are knocked off for a team the opposing team must aim for the ships heart and once that is knocked down the team wins. Rules Teams have to stay behind the allocated line and cannot cross the line. Players cannot interfere with a ball that is going to hit a cannon, if caught doing that the cannon must be knocked over anyway if the heart is accidentally knocked down before the cannons are then a coach must place it back on its cone and the game continues.
