Operating Instructions

The 3-in-1 Sports Zone offers three exciting ways to play:

2. Soccer:

• Use the included soccer ball.
• Kick the soccer ball into the net. The net is designed to lift slightly when the ball touches it, activating sounds and counting a goal.
• This activity helps develop gross motor skills and coordination.
