Excersices to b e completed in warm up (not a relay yet): 1. first player in the line will zig zag through cones and return to line. 2. shuffle side to side through cones ( 2-3 times) 3. shuffle backward through cones (2-3 times) Repeat excersices ab ove as relay races b etween groups: (add ones b elow once ab ove are completed) 4. sprint through cones and return and tag team, once teammate tag next player goes, continue sequence unitl all players in line have gone twice. 5.
