Kan Jam Can Size, Court Distance & Full Specs
Kan Jam sets the two goal cans 50 feet apart, front to front. Here is the layout drawn to scale, with the can size and the slot that turns a good pass into an instant win.
| Regulation distance | 50 ft between the two cans (front edge to front edge) |
|---|---|
| Can size | About 20 in tall plastic goal with an open top and a front slot |
| Disc | One flying disc; partners alternate throwing and deflecting |
| Scoring | 1, 2, or 3 points by deflection or direct hit; a disc through the slot wins instantly |
| Players | 4 (2 vs 2); teammates split between the two cans |
Fifty feet is the official gap and the right challenge for adults. For kids or windy days, bring the cans in to 30 to 40 feet so deflections stay catchable.
