The IFTA Pentathlon is the second stage of the ‘Agility Challenges’ and adds two more events to the IFTA Triathlon, extending the range of skills involved to include eye to hand co-ordination, agility and throwing accuracy in addition to the existing skills of co-ordination, balance, speed, rhythm and leg strength. The ‘Challenge’ can be set up where space is limited and is designed to provide opportunities for large numbers of participants. Each young athlete should once again be given a personal scorecard on which his or her performances and scores are recorded. WEB COPY ©EVEQUE
