Laser-run and the obstacle course
Ready when: Swimming and fencing basics, with a coach (b3) done.
What the coach teaches
Laser-run sets: a short run, calm breathing to settle, then a shooting series; the obstacle course and its rules for the child's age group.
At home, safe only
Target games for the laser-run (b2); a rules quiz from the current obstacle rules (you name a situation, the child gives the ruling).
Ask the club
Which obstacles the club has; the youth rules for the child's age group.
What you can see from the side
The athlete settles their breathing before shooting.
Self-check what the coach confirms
8 of 10 rule questions answered correctly; the coach counts hits in a laser-run set.
Stop and get a coach when
Falls from hanging obstacles, or wrist or shoulder pain.
Intermediate is done when the coach confirms the athlete can handle the load.
