A runner carrying a ball in his hands runs along the course towards the turnaround point (marking cone). Halfway along the course there is an additional marking cone. The ball is deposited on this cone. The ball is then run around the turnaround. On the way back, the ball is picked up again before the next runner is sent onto the course.
Locomotion:
1st run = sideways steps / 2nd run = crossover run / 3rd run = sprint
Release:
Always run behind the waiting group. 1st release = pass the ball forwards between the legs / 2nd release = pass the ball forwards over the heads / 3rd release = pass the ball forwards alternately between the legs and over the heads.
