Turns Skill challenge

How to do it: Whichever box the player starts in they must go to BOX 1 on the diagonal first and turn in that one before executing turns within the other two boxes and stopping the ball in the start/finish box. Allow players to go in any direction (left or right) after first box. Always use flat markers for inner point of the boxes (x 4). All other markers should be as normal.

When to start the clock: On the coaches 'GO!'

When to finish the clock: When the player enters the finish box and ball is stopped under control.

Scoring System: Time only eg. 9.41 seconds

Notes: Same set up and sizes as AGILITY CHALLENGE, although inner markers have been changed to flats.

RULES: The ball must cross the line of every turning box 1 2 & 3 before the player can turn and head for the next one. If a player fails to do this they will have to go again.
