Have each team pick an exchange spot on the track and stand inside the square at that location.
-
One player from each team stands on the track at the team’s exchange spot JOHN with a ball in front of him.\
-Instructions:
On your signal to begin, the player with the ball bounce/rolls the ball once around the square.
When the player returns to the exchange area, his teammate runs a lap with the ball while the first pusher takes a brief break inside the exchange area. When the second player returns to the exchange area, the third teammate runs a lap with the ball while the first and second pushers take a brief break inside the exchange area.
The first team to complete 24 laps is the victor.
-Questions & Notes:
-
Have the teams do the race again but in the opposite direction.
-
Instead of having the players roll the ball, have them dribble it or kick it around the track.
