Orienteering at school for ages 13-15, Chapter 17: ORIENTEERING INDOOR

ORIENTEERING INDOOR

Multi-gym, ideal for learning orienteering The following maps show how to use multi-gym for learning to navigate from “A to B”. Before starting up the teaching outdoor you may conduct a lesson indoors during late winter. It is important to repeat the grounds as “red-to-red”, fit the map or orientate the map to reality. Choose which phrase you think is best to use, I prefer the “red-to-red.” 

The simplest version of this is the “Line-O”. In this exercise, students are forced to fit the map very often to navigate between gymnastics equipment in a winning way. Then follow up with ”Intro-course” and finish with the two “Challenge courses”. If you have access to EMIT or SportIdent it will be a very fun exercise. Otherwise, just touch the control marker with your hand.
