 Hoop and Step   

This agility exercise requires a hoop which is rolled away from the student. You will also need a fairly flat surface on which the hoop can easily roll. The goal is for the runner to move alongside the hoop stepping through the moving hoop with either the right or the left foot as often as possible as it is rolling.  As the young athletes get more proficient, have them step through the hoop in patterns such as every second or third step. To make it competitive, each step through the hoop earns one point. On a flat surface, the most agile athletes can take as many as 10 steps through the rolling hoop before it falls.
