handoffs today. The baton handoff is
ss
very important because it can decide if

team is the fastest or is the slowest.
There are many handoffs, but we will be
working on the overhand handoff today

groups, spread out with cones and each
person will be at a cone in a line
Activity 1: handoff jog through:

Students will line up at cones and will

S
practice walking or can jog to the person S
19-32 min in-front of them, and practice the
overhand handoff. Once handed off, the
next student will walk to the next
partner. Once the baton is handed off to S
the last person, each partner will rotate
S
and the last person will now be starting
the handoff. Teacher will decide teams
for relays based on times from 50 yard
dash times to make them as even as I
S

runs with their teams to get ready for
races next class
