In pairs, facing each other, start at the pawn. On command move sideways to the sideline. Start each in a different direction. Back to the other side and back to the pawn. Who touches the pawn first. At the same time the next pair starts. Make sure there is a change in the pairs.
When there are more than 9 players, double the number. (Also suitable for playing independently and setting out the next exercise in the meantime).
