Wall Ball
In the wall ball shot, the medicine ball must be taken from the bottom of a squat, hip crease below the knee, and thrown to hit the crease below the knee, and thrown to hit the specified target. The center of the ball must hit the target at or above the specified target height. If the ball hits low or does not hit the wall, it is a NO REP. If the ball drops from the top, it cannot be caught off the bounce to begin the next rep. The ball must settle on the ground before being picked up for the next rep.

Box Jump Overs
For the box jump overs, athletes must jump onto or over the box using a two-foot takeoff. There is no requirement to stand tall while on top of the box and athletes may choose to step down or jump down when returning to the ground. The athlete may choose to do their box jumps facing their box or doing lateral jumps. Each rep is counted when the athlete lands on the opposite side of the box. 

DB Power Snatch
The DB must start on the ground for each rep with both heads of the DB touching the floor. You will then bring the DB overhead in one motion. The DB must come to full lockout overhead with the hips, knees and arms fully extended, and the DB clearly over the middle of your body when viewed from profile. Once you have reached lockout, the rep will count. You must alternate hands on each rep. The non-working hand may not come into contact with the body or the dumbbell while the DB is being lifted.
