Home made goalpost you make from pool noodles
Home made goalpost you make from pool noodles. First, mark two spots 5 feet apart and push a dowel several inches into the ground at each spot. Place a pool noodle over each dowel and you have your uprights. Push a noodle connector on each end of a third noodle, then slide the connectors down the upright noodles to make a crossbar, and you have your goal post. Adults and kids will have fun kicking a football to score a field goal. You can adjust the height of the crossbar by sliding the connectors up and down the uprights. Who’s got the best kick? You might be surprised.
Now that you’ve mastered the kick, how about the pass? You can create a backyard target practice game with a tarp and some duct tape. Simply lay out a tarp (with grommets, if possible, so it will be easy to hang) and cut out several squares and or triangles for targets. Use colored duct tape to line the edges of each cut out so they are clearly marked and easy to see. With a permanent black marker assign values (5, 10, 25 etc.) to each opening by writing the number underneath. Hang the tarp using rope tied to each grommet and attaching it to a strong structure, such as a fence or tree. Hopeful quarterbacks can try their luck at throwing footballs through the holes and earning points. Since this is a backwards party, give extra points for passes thrown backwards, over the shoulder. Take turns and the first player to reach 100 points is the MVP.
