Create Your Own Ball Game

Ques: Imagine you could create a new game where you strike a ball. What would the rules be?
Ans: In my game, we could use soft balls, and instead of just striking, we would have to hit the ball through hoops placed all over the playground! Each player must hit the ball and guide it through as many hoops as they can. The person  who gets the most points by hitting through the hoops wins. It’s a mix of soccer and golf!
