Topic: Sprint contests

Minimum number of players: 6

Difficulty level:

Equipment required: Foam beams (total number of players -1)

Setting:

- Make three teams.

- Spread the foam beams across the court. There must be one foam beam less than there are players on the court (musical chairs principle).

Course:

- The players crisscross throughout the goal zone at relaxed pace and “say hello” by exchanging high-fives (A).

- On command, the players start to run. They must try to be the first to stand on a certain foam beam and block it (B).

- The player who does not get a beam, drops out (C). Remove one beam then; the course needs to be repeated until only three players are left.

- The team that has the most players left on the field scores. If there is a tie (1 player left per team), each team scores.

- Spread the foam beams again and repeat the course three times.

- At the end, the team that scored highest wins the game. The two other teams need to perform a predetermined exercise (push-ups, jumping jacks, or similar).

If a player leaves the goal zone before the sign was given, he drops out immediately.

If two or more players step onto a foam beam almost at the same time, they need to come to an agreement about who was first; if they do not come to an agreement, they all drop out.

Team-internal running tactics could be helpful.

If there are many players, define exercises the drop-outs need to perform (strengthening exercises, endurance run, or similar).
