Youth Fitness Training Sample program from Dr. Kwame Brown
Skip Tag 10 minutes
Equipment
- Cones (and line chalk if you have it) to mark off area
- Colored pinnies (optional)
Instructions
- Split into teams at opposite corners of the area
- The first group is “it” (pick a color for them)
- The second group is to be chased (wearing the other color)
- Instruct the students that they must skip only
- If anyone is tagged or caught running, they must do 5 lunges to get back in
- The game round is over when everyone on Team 2 is tagged. Roles are reversed
Tips
- Call out “freeze” randomly to keep it unpredictable
- Make sure that you instruct students on proper touching
- If the students can’t touch lightly, give them something soft like a balled up t-shirt to tag with
Purpose
- Agility
- Teamwork
- Acceleration
