Topic: Sprint contests

Minimum number of players: 6

Difficulty level:

Equipment required: 5 to 8 small vaulting boxes, 1 handball per team of 2

Setting:

- Make pairs; each pair has one handball.

- Position 5 to 8 small vaulting boxes upside down along the center line (see figure).

Course:

- On command, , , and start to run from the goal zone simultaneously with their handball (A).

- , , and sprint with their handball to the 1st box, put the ball inside (B), sprint back, and exchange high-fives with , , and , respectively (C), who have been waiting in the goal zone.

- Now , , and (D) sprint to the 1st box, which contains the handballs. They NEED to fetch THEIR handball from the box (E), sprint back to the goal zone, and touch the 6-meter line with one foot (F). Only now they are allowed to hand over the handball to the first player.

- Subsequently, , , and sprint to the 2nd box, put the ball inside (G), sprint back, exchange high-fives with , , and , respectively, who have been waiting in the goal zone (H).

- And so on (until the last box is reached). The team that first brings their handball back from the last box to the goal zone (J) wins the game.

The exercise is quite exhausting.

If a ball drops out of the box, the player must put it back before he can continue. If the handball of another team drops out of the box during a move, the player needs to first put back this ball, too, before he can continue.

The players need to compete for space in a fair manner; this particularly applies to the first boxes (box 1 to 3), as there will be a lot of “traffic” around the boxes.
