Safety Issues Doing the course wrong or too fast and getting hurt

Grouping for each activity: 4 groups of 10 with two courses set up, if possible set up more so students get more reps.

Technical Description:
1. Begin the obstacle course by jumping rope 10 times.
2. Run to Station 2, and jump onto the first box with both feet, then jump onto the ground, then hop onto the next box with both feet and so on.
3. Speed over to Station 3, and move across the gymnastics mat any way you choose - crawling, inching like a worm or somersaulting.
4. Head over to Station 4, and climb or vault over the table.
5. Dash to the box at Station 5. Step up and down on the box 10 times using only one leg at a time.
6. Run to Station 6 and the rows of hula hoops. Place only one foot in each hoop - and don't miss a hoop.
7. Dash to the mat at Station 7, and do 10 quick sit-ups.
8. Take a breather; the course is complete!
