Relay Baton Handovers

What you will learn

Coordinate a safe hand-to-hand baton exchange. This TRAINOVIX lesson shows a simple setup, a specific practice action and a way to notice your progress without rushing.

Practice step by step

1. Warm up with easy walking and movement on a safe, level surface.
2. Use a light baton and walk side by side.
3. Agree on a clear cue, present an open hand and transfer the baton gently.
4. Check that the receiver has a secure grip before letting go.
5. Rest between attempts and finish with easy walking.

Coaching tips

• Walk through exchanges before running.
• Stay relaxed and take breaks when needed.

How to progress

Start with the simplest version of the activity. Give yourself enough time to learn the movement, ask for feedback when useful, and choose a more challenging variation only when your practice feels comfortable and controlled.
