One runner runs around a turning point (e.g. colouring stick, marker cone or cone) or to the hall wall and back before sending the next runner onto the track. There are different exercise variations with the ball:
Single run:
- Ball (e.g. medicine ball or gym ball) medicine ball or exercise ball) in a high hold
- Carry the ball on your thighs in a four-footed gait
- Tuck the ball between your feet and bounce
- Bounce the ball
- Dribble the ball with your feet
- Roll the ball with your hands
In a binomial:
- Tuck the ball between partners (hands must not hold the ball after the start)
Detachments: Run around the waiting group back to the next runner for the handover of the ball - roll the ball forwards between the legs - pass the ball forwards over the heads - stop the ball on one or between two lines, then handover by handshake to the next runner who picks up the ball.
