Gymnastics
Girls · ages 5-8
Your clip must include at least one of the four moves below.
Tucked headstand
From a kneeling position, with the palms placed forward on the floor at shoulder width and the head on the floor, the child rises in a controlled way into a tucked headstand, legs together and toes pointed. The position is held for 5 seconds, then released slowly and with control.
Bridge from lying
Lying on the back, with the palms on the floor at shoulder level and the knees bent with the feet together, the child pushes up into a bridge. The legs push and straighten at the knees while the chin tucks into the chest; the position is held for 5 seconds, then released with control.
Front split
From a kneel on one knee, with the other leg stretched forward, the back straight and the arms out to the sides at shoulder level, the child slides forward into a front split, without leaning on the arms. The position is held for 5 seconds.
Forward bend from straddle sit
From a straddle sit, with the back straight and the arms stretched overhead, legs straight and toes pointing to the ceiling, the child bends forward until the chest touches the floor, keeping the trunk and arms aligned. The position is held for 5 seconds, then the child comes back up with a straight back.
Football
Boys · ages 8-14
Your clip must include at least one of the four moves below.
Dribbling and shot on goal
The child dribbles the ball in a slalom through five cones (0.50 m apart, the first one 18.5 m from the goal) and, after the last cone, shoots at goal. 10 shots are taken — 5 with the right foot and 5 with the left.
Changes of direction with the ball
On a T-shaped course (with four cones), the child dribbles the ball through successive changes of direction — start, left, right, back — as fluently and quickly as possible, without losing control of the ball.
Controlled juggling
The exercise has two parts: 50 juggles with the feet, alternating right and left without exception, and at least 10 juggles with the head. The ball must not touch the ground during either part.
Sprint on signal
On an acoustic signal, the child starts a maximum sprint from behind the goal line and runs 16.5 metres in a straight line, up to the edge of the penalty area. A false start invalidates the attempt.
