  • Both teams line up behind the line and each has their own sprint track.
  • The focus here is on responding to commands while sprinting, Goal of the players is to be first through a gate.
  • This can be the gate at the end of the sprint track. However, a command can also be given by the trainer to run through a gate at the side of the track (pots/cones).
  • Sprinting forward, backward or really stopping and turning around are all possibilities.
Fun of this game is that you can turn it into a little competition. As a trainer, you can give the commands in such a way that the score is always exciting, because not always the fastest sprinter wins, but the player who reacts the fastest.
