6. Turn the turtle (turtle can move)

1. The competitors lie on their stomachs facing each other with their right or left arms ready to wrestle. The winner is the wrestler who forces their opponents hand to touch his free arm.

2. The two wrestlers lie on their back, side by side, with heads pointing in opposite directions. The nearest arms are joined, and calves are joined in the air. On the count of three they try to pull the other over.

3.: The class is divided into two teams and each team is placed at opposite edges of the mat. The wrestlers on one team are told to construct a secure, impregnable fort out of their bodies by grabbing, hooking, and holding their bodies tightly together. On signal, the other team tries to dismantle the fort until it has been completely broken apart. Now switch teams.  The winning team is the team which holds their fort intact the longest according to the coaches time.

4. Wrestlers are divided into two groups and placed at opposite sides of the mat and numbered. A medicine ball is rolled down the center of the mat and when a number is called the two who have that number crawl out on their hands and knees and try to crawl back to their own side with the ball. The winning team is the team that brings the ball back to their side the most times.

 

5. One person starts on top, and on go, they try to turn their partner onto their back in any way.

6. Same as above.
