Quick

Instructions

In a circle, you in middle. The kids copy you running on the spot, jumping etc. When you say quick they get into the defensive position. However if you say get down they continue to do what they were beforehand they are only out if you see them.

Variations

  • Triple threat position.
  • Teaches the kids to listen to the coach carefully all the time.

Tips

  • Try to say ‘quick’ in the middle of a sentence.
