Product Evaluation

The purpose is to measure accuracy in passing.  The targets as shown in the diagram below are marked on a wall.  Three rectangles, one inside the other appear as the targets.  Their sizes are shown on parallel to the floor and the bottom of the largest rectangle is 35.6cm from the floor.  The best of three (3) trials is recorded as the score, ball hitting the margin between two areas receives the higher points.
