Quadball
-
QuadBall
is based upon that "Slanted Rim" theory developed by the late
Dr. Muska Mosston and incorporates everything Muska believed that physical
education should and could be. It's designed to be an environment of "inclusion,"
where every child has an opportunity for skill development through experimentation.

Variable Post
Height:
The design of the Big Red Base’s tall
post allows the teacher to adjust the height of the goal platform from approximately
155 cm to 244 cm. Because of the unit’s weight, height adjustment should
always be made by an adult.
Line Distances:
There are no hard and fast rules for the placement of the Shooting

setup below:
• Red 51 cm
• Yellow 38 cm

• Green 13 cm
