Organization points
Equipment: open space, class, teacher
Expla
nation: players start running around the gym until the teacher yells 'ready position' and then the players quickly assume the ready position facing the teacher no matter where they are in the gym.  A possible progression for this is start by walking, jogging, running, and finally doing a full out sprint.
