DESCRIPTION

The player is required to hit the ball across the width of the pitch at the target.

There are two options on how to hit:

either put the ball on the side line and hit a static ball
move the ball off the spot and hit a rolling ball.

(If the player chooses the second option, the ball has to be hit in front of the two metre line).
