Two-foot high kick
The object of the two-foot high kick is for the player to kick an object suspended at a measured distance above the ground with both feet.
During the first round the event judge and the participants determine the height of the target to start. The height of the target is raised by two inches during each subsequent round.
A coach will usually stand by the kick-stand to offer guidance to each participant on their respective kicking technique. This is done to give each participant an opportunity to maximize his or her potential and to learn from someone who may have been in a similar situation and is able to offer constructive advice.
The target must be clearly struck while both feet are together and the player must land on both feet and maintain his or her balance in order for a kick to be considered successful. Each player is allowed three attempts at each height. A player may decline to kick at any height, however once an attempt has been made at a particular height, the kicker must continue to kick at that height until they are successful or have been eliminated.
The player who kicks the target at the greatest height will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie it will be broken as follows:
- Least number of attempts
- Least number of failures
