Ready To Take Off,One Foot High Kick!

Native Youth Olympics are games that past generations of Alaska Natives played as a way to test their hunting and survival skills, and to increase strength, endurance, agility, and the balance of mind and body.

A great photo to show you how its done!


Here he is,ready,...notice they have to be a few feet back to get a running start...

Checking out where is a good place to start before running,jumping and touching the ball...
Start a few steps back from where the ball is hanging. Run a couple of big steps forward then jump straight up into the air. As you go up into the air bend your kicking leg and bring it up towards your chest. When you get at your maximum height extend your foot and tap the hanging ball and land on that same foot you tapped the ball with. The object of this event is to jump the highest, tap the ball with your foot and don't kick it as hard as you can. Land on that same foot and keep your balance.

All these photos you are viewing got him 1st place and to state! Good Luck Zachary!
