-Instructions:
On the signal to begin the players toss the hula hoop down the field and one of their teammates stands in the hoop.
The player with the ball attempts to throw the ball to the player standing in the hoop. The player in the hoop must keep both feet inside the hoop and catch the ball.
If a catch is not made, the team attempts another pass until the ball is successfully caught.
If the throw is successfully caught then the team moves up to the place where the hoop was and throw the hoop further downfield.
Play continues until a set time is up and then determine which team went the furthest. If the playing area is relatively small, count how many times the playing area is crosses forth and back...

This challenge involves a risk and reward option. The further the hoop the further the team will travel when successful. However, if the hoop is too far away the team may need a lot of tries and time to complete a successful pass. What is the ideal distance for your team?
