Players will line up along the outside tramline of the court. The task is to touch each horizontal line of the court in order as outlined by the cones in the diagram. Once each line is touched the players will run back to where they started before setting off to touch the next line, once players reach the last line they have finished. Students will race against each other and the players who is last will have to do 5-10 press ups. This encourages the players to try harder to win and therfore the warm up will be more effective as players will be increasing heart rate whilst moving and running and muscles and joints will be warmed up through dynamic movements, touching the lines at speed
