A simple premise - give a ball to a team of paddlers (2 or 3 works well) with the brief that the ball has to go through all the gates on a course in the shortest time! Stolen from a Slalom Coach Training Course delivered by Andy Neave.
Within the premise you can set various parameters and constraints. You could have 2 teams competing against each other head to head. You could decide for yourself if they are allowed to paddle with the ball, or if there is a time limit before they have to throw it, or if the paddlers are allowed to go through gates. You could use different size balls from run to run, or other objects that float (rubber ducks, plastic bottles).
Repetition without repetition - Constant reaction to where the ball is and what it's doing. No 2 runs will ever look similar, never mind the same!
