There were three separate activities taking place:
Ladders and rings - children had to hope over the ladder
and rings with one leg, alternating each after completing
a set.
Hurdles - children had to hope over the hurdle with both legs,
sideways and backwards.
Fun game - a defender and attacker would be paired. The defender had to
touch evy cone the attacker touched and then race him/her to the end cone. The objective of the exercise was to improve reaction, anticipation, speed and quick movement.
