The foam hurdle (children’s hurdle)

1-2 years

  1. Front jumping over a low hurdle on both legs, jumping sideways over the second hurdle (preparing for a high jump)
  2. In a relay race the ball should be rolled under the hurdles
  3. In a relay race running over the hurdles
  4. Slalom run between the hurdles
  5. The hurdles are placed perpendicularly to the direction of the movement, the pupils jump over them from the side, once form the right side, once from the left side.
  6. A hurdle race competition, in one or two directions.
  7. Walking over the hurdles, with cones on the heads. The goal: the cones should not fall down.

3-4 years

  1. Running over the hurdles (alternately, over low and high hurdles)
  2. Jumping series over the hurdles
  3. We place the hurdle next to a beam or at one side of a mat. In a standing long jump, this helps to raise the center of gravity after gaining momentum.
  4. ’Stork walking’ over the hurdles, with a cone on the top of the head.

5-5 years

  1. Dribbling the ball over a low hurdle.
  2. Using the scissors technique, jumping over all the hurdles, sideways.
  3. We place the hurdle next to a beam or at one side of a mat. In a standing long jump, this helps to raise the center of gravity after gaining momentum.
  4. Jumping series, over hurdles of alternating heights.
