6. A set of six shots will count for both the gender-specific category and the overall category
7. All pupil scores at a school in a given age/gender category will be added together and averaged to give an overall total score for a given school
8. A minimum of 12 different pupil scores in any given category are required for the overall score to be counted on the leader board

Virtual competition where competing team scores are compared on a leaderboard.

Format

• Year 5 and 6 disciplines: 600m run (one attempt) - done in 100m circuits; 75m sprint (one attempt) - done in 25m lengths; standing long jump (two attempts, best counts); howler throw (three attempts, best counts) - maximum 2 metre run-up

• With two coaches operating, 1+3 and 2+4 from the above will be conducted simultaneously, each coach working with a sub-group of 5 boys or girls and then rotating

Ethos and fair play

• Fun and participation towards early athlete development
• Note that scores of all competing schools only declared publicly at the end of the competition period so as not to give an unfair advantage to schools participating later in the process

Venue

• To be held on a school's own site. Pupils undertake events and are scored by HDSD staff on their own school site
• Needs to take place on grass for reasons of space, safety (eg standing long jump landing) and comparability between schools
• Require a grass area at least 50 metres x 32 metres in dimension (roughly the size of a small junior football pitch).

Categories

• Year 3 and 4 event
• Year 5 and 6 event
• There will be A and B team events in each age group. C, D, etc events may also be possible for schools that wish to enter more teams as part of an inclusive approach. We are happy to be led by demand in that aspect!
• Results can be segmented between large and small schools, and, if desired, and sufficient entry, by geographic/school family areas

Group size

• As in conventional District Sports Quadkid events in previous years, each year group requires 5 boy and 5 girl participants
• So, for example, in the year 5+6 A teams competition a school would require 5 x year 5 boys, 5 x year 5 girls, 5 x year 6 boys and 5 x year 6 girls to make a full team

Dates, times and session numbers

• All events and scoring to be undertaken by 31 March 2021
• Dates/times of sessions to be arranged individually with schools on basis of mutual convenience.

Cost

• Assessment of a single year group team of 10 by two visiting coaches will take 30 minutes. So a full team of two year groups will require one hour.
• Coaches are charged at £33 per hour each.
• Assessing 10 children at a time is the preferred approach but variations can be agreed if necessary to fit in with school needs.

Weather, equipment and kit

• The events and assessment needs to be done outside so weather needs to be reasonable enough to ensure this. HDSD and schools may need to work together to agree on the best decision.
• We will require and provide each participating child to wear a race number (provided by HDSD) that corresponds to their listing on a pre-submitted declaration form. This is similar to the normal District Sport Quadkids procedure that is adopted.

Players must shoot with the ball above shoulder height (no underarm or push pass type throws). Coach to return the ball after every shot. If the ball hits the hoop that also count as a successful shot.

Getting the ball to land in a hoop scores you either 1, 2 or 3 points.

Team game

The team stands in a rectangle 2m away from each other. Each player must move the ball around their waist 3 times and then throw in to the next player who does the same. Each time a team member successfully moves the ball around their waist and then throws it to the next person they earn a point, regardless of whether or not the next person catches it. If the next person drops the ball then they just collect it, go back to their spot and then complete their turn. If the person moving the ball around their waist drops it they just pick it up and continue from where they were. For example, if they were on their second rotation when they dropped in they are still on 1 and need to do the second and third rotation before passing.

Moving the ball around their waist 3 times and passing the ball earns a point.

Competition rules

Baseball

Individual – How many times in 60 seconds can you catch the ball?

Only successful catches count. If you drop the ball you retrieve it and carry on where you left off (you do not go back to zero). The player stands two metres away from a wall and throws underarm before catching. Catches can be made using one hand or two hands.

Team – How many bases can the team touch in 180 seconds?

The first person runs round all four bases making sure they touch each one with their feet and when they return to home base the next player goes. If a player misses a base they are sent back to touch it before being allowed to continue. Players take turns until the 180 seconds finishes. Bases are five metres apart and form a square.

Cricket

Individual – How many times can the player hit the stumps out of 10 throws?

The player stands 5 metres away from the stumps and throws the 10 balls one at a time, underarm towards the stumps. If the stumps get knocked over the coach puts them back up before the next throw is taken.

Pairs – How many times can you and your partner catch the ball in 90 seconds?

Players stand opposite each other, initially two metres apart and throw and catch the ball. Only successful catches count. If you drop the ball you retrieve it and carry on where you left off (you do not go back to zero). Catches can be made using one hand or two hands. Throws are made underarm. After 30 seconds, one player moves back to the 4 metre line and the throw and catch skill continues and the scoring continues. After 60 seconds, one player moves back to the 6 metre line and the throw and catch skill continues and the scoring continues. Time stops at 90 seconds.

Rounders

Individual – How many points can you score from 6 hits?

The coach feeds the ball to the player one at a time (6 balls in total) from a distance of 5 metres. The player stands in a hoop and must keep one foot inside whilst trying to hit the ball. 1 point = If the player hits the ball. 2 points = If the player hits the ball past the coach between a gate (two cones located at a distance of 7 metres and 2 metres apart). 0 points = if the player misses the ball. No balls do not count and should be retaken.

Pairs – How many balls can you steal from the hoop in 90 seconds?

In pairs, players take turns to run to the hoop (located five metres away) and collect a ball and return to place it in the bucket at the start line. Players can only collect one ball at a time. Only balls placed in the bucket at the start line count at the end of the 90 seconds. The next player can only start running when their partner has placed the ball in the bucket.

Softball

Individual – How many times can you clap your hands together whilst throwing the ball in the air?

Players must throw the ball in the air underarm and then start clapping. The score only counts if they catch the ball. Repeat this as many times as you can in 60 seconds. Only your best score is counted.

Individual – How many points can you get from 10 catches?

The coach throws the ball in the air about 2-3 metres high and the player must catch the ball with one hand (players encouraged to use their weaker hand but not essential) above their shoulder. This is repeated 10 times. 1 point = If the player drops the ball but the ball hits their hand above their shoulder. 2 points = If the player catches the ball in one hand above their shoulder. 0 points = if the player does not catch or touch the ball.
