SAQ Arrow (20 mins)

Equipment: 8 cones


Setup: From start cone, place 2nd cone 10 yds forward, place 3rd cone 5 more yards forward. From cone 2, place a 4th cone 5 yards  to the left and perpendicular to the line created from cone 1 and cone 3. Set up is the same for the other side, but with the 4th cone being placed 5 yards to the right.


Activity

Two teams of of an even number of players line up behind the cone at points A and B.

For a warmup, each team works its side of of the arrow, once and switches to run through the other side.

Then, one player from each team races against each other.

Players sprint around each corner on the outside of the cone before sprinting back to your team at the start finish line.

Once the full team has gone, teams switch sides and repeat the individual challenge

Progression

Same drill but in a team relay. Players must tag (hand a pinnie off to) the next person before starting their lap. As players finish the first side, they line up to complete the cycle on the opposite side.

Competition Advancement: Winning team plays the winning team from the other contested arrowhead.

Once the players complete the ladder, they then run through the agility sticks, moving and cutting side-to-side. After rounding the last agility stick, the play advances to the far cone and cuts right to run forward 10 yards, then back-pedal to the cone approximately 5 yards back and to the side, then accelerates to the cone directly forward fo approximately 20 yards, back-pedals 5 yards and then runs forward and down the slope to finish.
