PHASE ONE-1000 TOUCHES CHALLENGE

A NEW, 1000 TOUCHES-HOME EDITION, HAS BEEN PRODUCED IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT-STAY AT HOME ORDER-MOST FAMILIES ARE DEALING WITH...CHECK IT OUT!

HERE IS THE FIRST ACTIVITY...AND IT IS A CHALLENGE!

NKSA IS UTILIZING AN EXCELLENT SKILLS WORKOUT VIDEO FOUND ON YOUTUBE AS PART OF A THREE WEEK PLAYER/TEAM COMPETITION. TO ACCOMPANY THE VIDEO WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER A THREE WEEK TRACKING CHART FOR EACH PLAYER TO UTILIZE TO SHOW BOTH PARTICIPATION AND IMPROVEMENTS IN EACH OF THE ACTIONS DEMONSTRATED IN THE VIDEO.

THE TRACKING CHART WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE IN A GOOGLE SHEET, WITH EACH TEAM HAVING THEIR OWN SHEET, AND EACH PLAYER HAVING THEIR OWN TAB. THIS WILL ALLOW TEAMMATES TO COMPARE PARTICIPATION, SCORES, AND IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THEIR TEAM. AT THE END OF THE THREE WEEKS THE CLUB WILL ANNOUNCE WINNERS IN EACH AGE GROUP-BOYS AND GIRLS...AS WELL AS THE CLUB'S TOP FIVE OVERALL!

PRIZES WILL BE AWARDED TO ALL WINNERS!

NKSA IS ALSO ENCOURAGING ALL PLAYERS TO POST 15 SEC VIDEO CLIPS OF THEIR EFFORTS EACH DAY TO INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK, OR TWITTER. BE

1000 TOUCHES WORKOUT VIDEO

1000 TOUCHES WORKOUT CHART

HOW DOES IT WORK?

1. PULL UP THE VIDEO ON YOUR DESKTOP, LAPTOP, OR PHONE. (YOU MAY WANT TO WATCH EACH ACTION FIRST BEFORE STARTING THE WORKOUT)
2. PLAYERS SHOULD PERFORM ALL MOVEMENTS (OTHER THAN BONUS) IN ORDER, WORKING FOR 90 SEC ON EACH ACTION.
3. RECORD THE NUMBER OF REPS ACHIEVED AT THE END OF EACH ACTION.

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO ACHEIVE THE GOAL REPS FOR EACH ACTION WITHIN 90 SEC BY THE END OF WEEK 3.

*BONUS ITEMS REPRESENT ACTIONS THAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE PERFORMED AT THE BEGINNING LEVEL

**PLEASE NOTE-1000 REFERS TO THE NUMBER OF EXPECTED TOUCHES, NOT THE NUMBER OF REPS
