Game

Play Pick Up Sticks

Played like the traditional children’s game in a 5-meter x 5-meter area, using 12 lengths of 6’ PVC pipe per group. Teams are arranged in line at two start cones 2-3 meters apart. Coach starts play by turning, spinning, shaking and throwing PVC pipes to the floor. The Coach will then take away the one PVC pipe that appears to be the easiest to remove without moving any others. This pipe will be handed to the first player in one of the lines. The player is instructed to move one pipe from the rest without moving any others. He or she may take up to one minute to complete this. If successful, the other team does 5 reps of a predetermined bodyweight exercise and the next person on his or her team goes. If unsuccessful, that player must perform 5 reps of the predetermined exercise and the next person to go is the first player in line on the other team. Predetermined exercises that work well include burpees, floppies, jumping jacks and squats.
