5.4.2 Jumps Relay
Aim
: The jumps relay is a team event of jumping for distance in a specified way (Hop, Standing Long
Jump, Standing Triple Jump etc.) to reach a target with as few jumps as possible.
Equipment
: Gym Mats, if performing the activity indoor
Grassed area (not wet), if performing outdoors
Cones to define jumping area and act as markers
Layout
: A jumping area is marked out with a starting line at one end and is divided into lanes equal
to the number of teams.
Activity
: In teams of four or five, the first young athlete from each team approaches the jumping
line. The remainder of the team should stand within their lane at least 2 metres behind their jumper .
The first young athlete from each of the teams is then instructed to ‘jump’ and a cone is placed at
the heel of where he or she landed. The second team member of each team, when instructed, now
performs a jump from the team cone and the cone is moved to the heel of where he or she landed.
This sequence continues until the first team reaches the target.
