Default Which distance??

Congratulations!! You've won the drawing and have a chance to attempt a field goal (off a tee) at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii!!! You get one and only one attempt. If you hit from 25 yards, you win $25,000. 35 yards, $100,000. 45 yards, $1,000,000....

its hard to say but i doubt many people can kick it far enough for the 45 yarder.
so i think you either have to take the 35 or the 25.
maybe with a little practice you could make the 35 but not sure.

that depends on alot. is it a 25yd field or from the 25 yard line.

i could kick a 25 yarder and im not good...it has to be off a tee and straight on but i can do it.

if your a good soccer player im sure you can go for 35+

my vote is for 25 though

Assuming I had a little notice I would practice and have a more accurate indicator. With notice and practie time probably try the 35 yd. Pulling me out of the stands on the spot probably 25 yd. Doubtful on 45 yd, unless I had a lot (like a years) notice and a coach, then maybe but I doubt it.

Back in the day, a 45 yarder off a tee would be ice cream but today I doubt if I could kick an extra point.

In 1968 against the Coast Guard Academy I attempted a 53 yarder at the end of the first half and it hit the cross bar. At the time it would have tied the NCAA record.

I'm 21 and played soccer for 12 years and I doubt I could kick a field goal from 25 yards out. Maybe if I got to a couple practice kicks in, but cold? No chance.

If you play soccer, I'm positive you could kick a 25 yard field goal. It's just slightly longer than an extra point.

all depends on how much practive you get, and I used to be a football kicker.

cold, I think most people would be foolish to attempt longer than 25.

with some notice, good athletes/ex soccer players could take a chance at 35.

a 45 yarder is very difficult for any person, especially with NFL goal posts, which is what I am assuming you will be using.

I've seen plenty of random college kids hit a 35 yarder for a big screen or something at our games. I think I could do that pretty easily, and could maybe get up to a 45 yarder if I had some time to practice.
