This game is great because it can be modified from beginner to advanced quite easily. One sailor in the box has a water gun. When the coach blows the whistle, sailors must sail through the box to the other side. If they get hit with the water gun, they do a 360. Take turns who is in the centre.

Teaching points:

  • Head out of the boat
  • Boat control
  • Starts
  • Penalty turns

Modifications:

  • Instead of a 360, kids could hold position in irons for a period of time, ie 5s for beginner, 1 min for advanced
  • Change the course to reaching for beginners
  • Make it elimination if they get hit with water, then last man standing wins and is the next King of the Box
  • Add penalty for leaving the box
