IFTA Agility Challenge 11
11.1.2 Pentathlon
The Pentathlon includes the following events:
• Balance Test • Standing Long Jump • Speed Bounce • Target Throw • Hi-Stepper
The IFTA Pentathlon is the second stage of the ‘Agility Challenges’ and adds two more events to
the IFTA Triathlon, extending the range of skills involved to include eye to hand co-ordination,
agility and throwing accuracy in addition to the existing skills of co-ordination, balance, speed,
rhythm and leg strength.
The ‘Challenge’ can be set up where space is limited and is designed to provide opportunities for
large numbers of participants. Each young athlete should once again be given a personal scorecard
on which his or her performances and scores are recorded.
