• The learner with the ball bear walk to the opposite corner to score a try in the try score hoop. 
• The other learner can touch the learner with the ball and after 2 touches they need to give the ball to the other team.
• When the first players have the ball the second players need to start to side plank walk through the speed ladder.
• After the try is scored the players that played need to stand at the back of the row where the players in front get ready to start on the word go.
• play 5 minutes a side and rotate 3-4 times.
