Skill: PRECISION
Drill: Cone Touch Breaks
Equipment needed: One cone and 3 levels of re-breakable boards per line
Instructors needed: One per line
Description: The students will work on their precision by breaking through 3 levels of boards while running across and touching a cone in between each break.
Teaching SKILLZ: EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION
If the student is not able to break all boards without missing, they have five pushups. If they break all boards on the first try, then the instructor has five pushups.
Brain SKILLZ: VISUAL PROCESSING
The student must be able to see their target and hit the board to break it on the first try. This works on their ability to make sense of what they see, as they must be able to spot their target and hit in the correct spot, or the board might not break on the first try.
Step 1
Divide the class into lines and have them line up on one end of the mat. Use a cone to mark each line.
Step 2 – Setting Up the Drill
For each line you will need 3 levels of re-breakable boards on the opposite end of the mat.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules
  • You will start by touching the cone and running across the mat and breaking the first board.
  • Run back and touch the cone and then break the second board.
  • Run back and touch the cone and then break the third board.
  • If you miss then you must run back and touch the cone again.
  • Your goal is to break through all 3 boards without missing once.
Step 4
  • Continue until each student has at least three turns.
