===Materials===
10 – 15 Pieces of various piping (PVC Pipe, Styrofoam, Wood, Etc.),
1-2 Marbles, 1-2 Golf Balls,
Several cones for marking, Bucket

===Set Up===
Clearly mark point A and B approximately 18 ft. apart (length = 3’ x number of
participants) with a bucket at point B. Create a bend in the path by marking the center with
cones for added difficulty.

===Directions===
The challenge is to transport a ball by pipeline from point A to point B in the fastest time
possible. The team may attempt the activity several times, planning for
improvement between each round. The group must adhere to the following rules:
* Every member of the group has access to only 1 piece of the pipeline per round and
the ball must pass through each person’s piece at least once.
* Pieces of the pipeline cannot overlap
* Participants cannot touch the ball at any point
* The ball must be kept in continuous motion at all times
* If the ball is dropped or the rules are broken, the group must begin again at point A
with the clock running
* Participants cannot move their feet when the ball is in their piece of the pipeline
* The ball must stay in the pipeline

===Variations===
Two or more teams compete for the best time.

===Debrief Questions===
* What was the biggest challenge?
* How did you decide the order? Did that change? (Why? How did that come about?)
* What were the key ingredients for success?
* What are some parallels in real life? (What are our goals for our team/department/camp? How are we going to get there?)
