Playing the Game The group should be split into teams of equal numbers if possible. The team stands in a line, one behind the other, with the first young athlete behind the start line. On the whistle, the first young athlete runs up to hoop one, which is placed in his or her lane approximately 15 metres from the start line. He or she collects an object and returns towards the team. After running around the cone at the back of the team, the young athlete places the object in hoop two in his or her lane, touches the shoulder of the next member of the team who then proceeds to collect another object from hoop one. This continues until all the objects have been collected from hoop one and returned to hoop two. WEB COPY ©EVEQUE
