Conditional Relay
A relay race where each leg comes with a unique condition. This is where real teamwork is put to the test.
RULES
- 1
Each leg of the race is 35m with a specific condition that must be followed
- 2
Players will line up at opposite ends of the boundary lines — complete your leg and hand the baton to your teammate waiting at the other side
- 3
The baton can only be handed off once the player passes the boundary line
- 4
A whistle will signal the start of the race
- 5
Failure to follow a leg's condition results in the team having to repeat that leg
- 6
The team's time is recorded when the final runner crosses the finish line with the baton
SETUP
- Mark each 35m leg with clear start/end lines and 3 lanes
- Explain and demonstrate each condition before starting
- Assign one time-keeper/referee per team at the finish line
