Welcome SS
1. Warm up Do warm up learnt from previous lessons
(10 mins) Hurdle work is a great way to increase a runner's strength, flexibility, balance and conditioning.
Hurdling is to jump over something while running, normally during a race
HUMAN HURDLE (Must have at least 10 players)
1. Divide players into 2 teams…with each team laying in a circle.(Be sure there is a wide space between each
player and heads are towards the center of the circle.

2. Assign each team member a number. (If there are 6 players on each team, each team player will be
number 1 through 6) #1 on each team, gets up and runs over the bodies in the group–until they get back to
their own spot.

3. #2 gets up and does the same. The first team to have all runners ‘hurdle’–is the winner!

Hoop Challenges
The ss take turns holding the hoop – standing it up on the ground – as their partner moves through it.
Move through hoop:
Without knees touching the ground.
Without touching the hoop. Backwards. With a hoop held off ground at ankle height. With a hoop held off
ground at knee height.

3. Squash the Cockroach

Organise the kids into small groups, each allocated a lane.
( mins) Peg a pool noodle into the ground 5 metres ahead of the group.
Place 5 hoops in a line in front of the group.
Activity
One person from each group at a time runs, steps in each of the 5 hoops, circles around the noodle and
steps again in each of the 5 hoops to return to the start.
Tell the kids that there is a cockroach in each hoop that they need to squash. I found that this encouraged

them to punch their feet back down to the ground as opposed to “tip-toeing” through the hoops, which is a
common problem with this type of activity.
Cross The River
Mark out a “river” about 10 metres in length.
Give each child 2 hoops.
Activity
The kids throw one hoop into the river (not too far) and step/jump/leap onto it. They then throw the other
hoop further into the river (not too far!) to step/jump/leap onto it. From the second hoop, they reach back to
get the first hoop to gather it and then throw it further into the river to step onto. And so on.
Avoid stepping in the river.
Variation
Constrain the activity by instructing the kids in the way they need to jump e.g. 1 foot to 1 foot; 1 foot to 2 feet;
2 feet to 2 feet.
This game involves jumping/leaping, reaching/bracing and strategising
The main one is that the kids have to reach back to gather the hoop that they have just jumped from. This
often requires them to reach out to a bridge position and then slide the hoop back towards them – a
wonderful challenge that involves bracing the body in a prone position.
