How to Make a Kicking Tee

Kicking tees are a small, but important, part of football, soccer and rugby. If you are involved in any one of these sports, you know that during practice, you never can have enough kicking tees. Here is your opportunity to make some creative kicking tees from some rather ordinary items while recycling at the same time. These kicking tees are made from two different sizes of plastic soda bottles and some duct tape. Making kicking tees together would be a great team-building project for youth teams.
