The competition will take the form of an activity for students to score points by hitting golf balls towards a target.

The Preliminary Selection of School Team will take the form of a school competition at each Pilot School. The Virtual Inter-Schools Skills Challenge will be held between 09:00h-11:00h on March 5 and will utilize the same structure and rules of play as the preliminary competition.
The target circle will be placed 50 yards away from players and students will score points according to where the ball lands on the target: The center scores 50 points, the inner ring scores 25 points, the outer ring scores 10 points and balls outside the circle scores five points.
