Korfball drills

You need the board game "30 seconds" to do this

Posts in a square or circle, reasonable distance from each other. In the middle stands the trainer with the 30 seconds board game.

List of 5-6 simple exercises with a number of goals. Each group (2 or 3 pairs) starts with the same exercise from the list. Each group continues until they reach the number. When they have reached the number for that exercise they go to the trainer and the board.

First come, first served. The group plays a round of "30 seconds" according to the normal rules. When they are done with the card, they get the next exercise and the number of goals. If a group has already done all the exercises on the list, they start again at the top of the list. Who reaches the end first?
