Game play and basic rules

Players place a skittle 1–3 metres from a wall.•

From a line 5–10 metres in front of the wall

players roll up to five tennis balls in a turn to

rebound off the wall and attempt to knock over

the skittle. The fewer the number of balls used to

knock over the skittle the better.

If the skittle is knocked over it is moved 1 metre•

further away from the wall. If the skittle is

missed, the skittle is moved 1 metre closer to the

wall. A goal line can be set 5–7 metres from the

rebound wall. A goal is scored when a player has

successfully been able to progress the skittle,

metre by metre, back across the goal line.
