This project does involve actually kicking a football.
In the materials list, you will see:
"A football field with goalposts and lines marked on the field at least every 10 yards. If the yards are not marked, you can use a tape measure and objects to mark the distance, such as rocks or sticks. Long tape measures can be purchased from Amazon.com. Avoid using the field when it is very windy."
