Choose Your Team

Now that you have your marbles, it’s time to choose your team! If you have a big marble, or shooter, they make a great team captain!

The tricky part begins with choosing the athletes who will bet represent you in competition! You should choose competitors based on the skills you observed while watching videos in unit one – speed, strength, balance, endurance, etc.

In order to choose your team, you can simply choose based on who looks the best. Or you can design a series of short trial events to see who performs the best! Test each of your potential athletes by running them through the trials. You can run each along a small beam, down a small ramp, through a marble course, etc. Be creative!

In the end, you should have a team captain, four main teammates, and two alternates.

Your Assignments for this Unit:

• Create trial events to help choose your team members.
  
• Name your final team members!
