Fighting and Romping

Fighting and romping also include lifting, raising, carrying, pulling and pushing. The central element includes physical contact. By making or keeping contact (duelling or competing), both players can ‘play’ with pushing, pulling and balance. Lifting, raising and carrying (small) objects, as well as bigger materials with multiple people and using a landing/falling mat are important aspects.

The focus is on the starting postures and positions in order to lift or carry safely and with technical accuracy. This BMS can be regarded as preparation for stability training and for possible future strength training in overload, which could take place after the growth spurt.
