NUMBERING THE LINES

Number the four sides of a rectangular area 1,2,3,4.

The rectangular area should be no larger than a basketball court.

The Coach will call out a side and an action (eg run to 1, skip to 3).

The Coach can also call out the command to run in circles or to perform any other movement without moving to a side (eg. Run in circles, 5 push ups, 3 star jumps).

The actions do not have to be completed before another command is given.

The calls may be random and include some surprises.

Keep the students moving for 3 minutes which is a substantial warm up.

EQUIPMENT: Nil.

AREA REQUIRED: Basketball, tennis, netball court or rectangular sized grassed area.
