Fast-paced relay race where teams compete by dribbling through cone courses, combining loose dribbling with straight dribbling techniques

Progressive cardiovascular warm-up incorporating jogging, dynamic stretches (arm circles, high knees, butt kicks), walking lunges, leg swings, and ball familiarisation activities to prepare the body for vigourous circuit training

Student-led fitness circuit targeting specific components (speed, agility, endurance) with team coaching and rotation through challenge stations

Progressive strength and mobility exercise where students perform wide-stance squatting walks across the mat area, with optional hands-behind-back progression for increased challenge

Students work in pairs to create and demonstrate their own warm-up sequence to prepare the class for physical activity

Students take full responsibility for leading their peers through a structured three-part warm-up including pulse raiser, dynamic stretches, and skill practice

Students take leadership roles to design and deliver their own team warm-up incorporating sport-specific skills and dynamic movements

Small groups plan and lead warm-up routines for the class, developing leadership skills and movement knowledge
