Sport Spotlight: Strikes

Posted by Epic Athletic Wednesday, June 2, 2010

You'll notice on the list of Secondary Sports that 4 out of the 21 have the word Strike at the end of their title. Strike is a term that essentially means a skills competition. For example, the 3-Point Strike is a 3-point shooting skills competition and the Juggling Strike is a juggling skills competition. They are not complete created sports, just fractions of sports that are focused on in a quick competition.


The Strikes:

3-Point Strike:
The 3-Point Strike will follow the same format as the NBA 3-Point competition. Each competitor will shoot five shots in the right-hand corner, five shots a quarter of the way around the 3-point line, five shots half way around, five shots three quarters of the way around, and five shots in the left-hand corner; for a total of twenty-five shots. The competitors will have 1:00 minute to complete all their shots. The competitor who makes the most shots wins.

Juggling Strike:
Each competitor will have three attempts to juggle the soccer ball for as many touches as possible. The three individual totals will be combined to make the competitor's final score. The competitor with the highest final score wins.

Penalty Kick Strike:
One competitor will be shooting penalty kicks while the other competitor will play goalie. The first competitor will shoot five PKs, then the goalie and shooter will switch positions, and the second competitor will shoot five PKs. The competitor with the most made shots will win the round and the first competitor to win five rounds wins the competition.

JaMarcus Russell Strike:
The JaMarcus Russell Strike is a QB accuracy competition. Like the Penalty Kick Strike competitors will have five attempts to hit a target with a football. The competitor with more hits wins the round and the first competitor to win five rounds wins the competition.
