The portable kicking game includes a relatively small, portable playing sheet or mat having a representation of a playing field thereon. The playing sheet is preferably sufficiently small to provide for placement in a medium size room, a single parking space in a stadium parking lot, etc. A small, portable goal post assembly and a kicking object are also provided. The kicking object may be in the form of a ball, polyhedron, or other shape as desired. Both the kicking object and goal post assembly may be formed of lightweight plastic, foam plastic material, or as inflatable devices, as desired. The game is played by alternately kicking the kicking object toward the opposite goal or through the goal post assembly with points awarded for successful kicks, in accordance with the rules of U.S. football or international soccer, as desired.
