Learning Outcomes
Improve dynamic balance while skating at high speeds.
Enhance reaction time and balance under pressure.
Description Of Activity
One skater is "it" and must tag the other skaters. When tagged, the skater must freeze in place and hold a balanced position until another skater tags them to unfreeze.
Variations
Add a "safe zone" where skaters can rest and regain balance.
Increase the number of "its" for a more fast-paced game.
Coaching Tips
Encourage skaters to keep their body low and their arms out to help with balance.
Remind the "it" skater to use short bursts of speed to tag others without losing control.
Focus on quick recovery to regain balance when frozen.
Equipment/Material Required
Skates.
Whistle for calling timeouts or game resets.
