Use these durable training hurdles to quickly set up and teach countless drills, recovery mechanics, and force application. The shorter hurdles are ideal for lateral and change-of-direction speed, while the taller hurdles are great for linear running mechanics.

Versatile Hurdles

With a single set of hurdles, students can develop power, quickness, coordination, and other fundamental skills. In addition, these training hurdles allow for switching your focus from agility to speed or plyometrics without swapping out equipment. Various heights ensure you always have the right hurdle for any student or drill.

Outstanding Mobility

Durable PVC construction is extremely light without sacrificing strength. This allows you carry these hurdles virtually anywhere and create on-the-go obstacle courses and agility drills. An included heavy-duty nylon bag makes transportation even easier and tidies up your equipment while in storage.

There are 3 heights available. The shorter hurdles are great for agility drills, while the taller ones are perfect for linear running mechanics. Rainbow colors make for fun color-coded activities.

With a tough PVC frame and a durable design that withstands tramples, these hurdles are available in 6", 12", and 18" heights, making them ideal for teaching jumping, agility, and coordination. The vibrant rainbow colors allow for color-coded games and station work that build locomotor, body control, and stability skills in engaging and inclusive ways. Here are 15 creative and varied activities using these hurdles to teach fundamental movement skills to students of all levels.

1. Hurdle Hop Hexathlon: Set up six color-coded lanes using all sizes of Rainbow UltraFit Hurdles. Students complete hopping and jumping challenges in each lane. Reinforces jumping, hopping, and balance.

2. Leap the Rainbow: Arrange hurdles in rainbow order. Students leap over each in sequence, trying to remember the color pattern. Combines leaping, sequencing, and memory recall.

3. Side Shuffle Showdown: Place hurdles in rows for students to side-shuffle through, sliding laterally between each one. Focuses on lateral movement and dynamic balance.

4. Color Command Course: Call out a color, and students must find that colored hurdle and jump it. Adds reaction time, running, and cognitive decision-making to the activity.

5. Rainbow Rocket Launch: After each hurdle jump, students perform a standing long jump. Encourages power generation and controlled landings.

6. High-Step Heroes: Using the tallest hurdles, students high-step over each hurdle with knees raised. Builds leg strength, core control, and dynamic balance.

7. Hop Stop & Drop: Hop over a hurdle and land in a balanced crouch position. Develops hopping accuracy, landing, and core strength.

8. Match & Move Mania: Match beanbags (like Gopher Rainbow Vinyl Beanbags) to same-color hurdles. Students throw, then jump to retrieve them. Adds throwing and color recognition.

9. Follow the Flinger: One leader jumps and performs movements over hurdles, while others mimic the pattern. Builds pattern recognition and coordination.

10. Fast Feet Frenzy: Students rapidly step in place between two hurdles, then jump the third. Great for speed, agility, and coordination.

11. Turbo Twist Trail: Students twist their bodies left and right while running toward the hurdle, then jump. Works twisting, running, and jumping together.

12. Jump & Jam Musical Hurdles: When music stops, students jump over the nearest hurdle and freeze. A fun twist on musical chairs that includes jumping and stopping.

13. Rainbow Circuit Challenge: Create stations with each hurdle height and color. Each station has a unique task like hopping, bounding, or crawling. Encourages total body movement diversity.

14. Leap Frog League: Students pretend to be frogs and leap over each hurdle, using both hands to "launch" themselves. Combines leaping with fun animal-based imagery.
