Setup

The players start with a straight run over 1-2 meters to the first hurdle and then begin with the sidesteps. With the sidestep, the legs are moved sideways to each other and again at the highest possible speed. The feet touch each other as they lead. The arms can also be moved parallel to the leg movement, but then swing past each other when they are brought together. If the players have passed the last hurdle in the sidestep, a short sprint can / should take place.
