Using a stack of bumper plates or Martial Arts Kick or Punch Shields, create a stack to be split- jumped (lead leg and trailing leg style) and a runway of at least 2 meters/6 feet in front and back of the stack. Allow for at least two stacks with different options in height (for example one stack with 2 , one stack with 3) and allow kids to choose. Gradually add to the stack to allow each child to attempt his or her own max running hurdle.
