Players take turns to aim and throw small equipment through hoops of different sizes. The hoops can be hung from trees or from a line securely and safely fixed in the play space. The hoop targets can be placed at different heights and be different sizes for added challenge. Hoops can have different points awarded to reflect the level of challenge.
