Exercise on target

Relay

Create two equal teams.
Start the relay at the coach's signal.
The player slaloms around the pawns -both ball and body around the pawns- and rounds on goal -push or flush-.
If the player scores, he may immediately sprint back and tap the next player.
If the player misses, he must take a detour via the blue pawn -on the side of the field- and then sprint back and tap the next player.
When it's your turn, you sit down on the ground.
Depending on the number of players, you can also choose to have all players take 2 or 3 turns.
The next player may not start until he is tapped by the player in front of him.
The team that has all players on the ground first wins the relay.
There are different types of slalom to apply in this exercise:
- Normal slalom
- Slalom in which the player's body and ball are to the left or right of the row of pawns.
- Slalom where the ball is to the left of the row of pawns and the body is to the right.
