Dribble Challenge

           

            Skill related fitness and health related fitness may contain different components but they both can improve just by training to improve in one. For example, practicing your speed can improve your cardio fitness level. This dribble challenge will improve your hand-eye-coordination, agility, and reaction time. This activity requires you to be in groups with an even number of people on the offensive and defensive sides. I chose the dribble challenge because I enjoy people making progress in their skill and watching them in the moment.

            To do this dribble challenge you must maneuver your way through the cones while dribbling as a warm up. Then form a group and divide it into an offense and a defense. The defensive half of the group will try to take the ball from the offensive side. If they steal the ball they will then become the offense. The side with the most turnovers at the end of the game loses. This activity can help you work on your ability to work as a team. Continuously playing this game gets very tiring because of all the constant movement. Doing so will improve your cardiovascular fitness and dribbling skills by a fair amount if you practice hard.

Knockout Challenge

           

Health- related fitness is made up of five components; body composition, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, coordination, and balance. These components can be closely related to that of skill related fitness but there are some differences. Practicing one will improve the other to a certain extent. Knockout is a game that focuses on your coordination and speed. It’s a skills competition that practices your jump shot at the same time. I chose this activity because basketball is something I love and feel much more comfortable teaching to others. Additionally I feel that knockout is a fun way to compete and improve your skills at the same time.

To play knockout, all participants must form a line and make an attempt to make a shot before the person behind them does. Once the person ahead of you shoots you have a short window to eliminate them because that person must run and get their rebound and make the shot before you do. If you make the shot, get your rebound and pass it to the next person in line. The rotation keeps going until there is one left standing. Whoever possesses the best coordination and works the fastest to make a shot wins in the end. Playing this game will also work on your cardiovascular endurance to a certain point. Improving all these components can help you in your everyday life and possibly increase your confidence as well.
