Skips

Coaching cues

• Stand tall with feet hip-width, arms bent about 90°, core braced, and eyes forward.
• Push through the ball of your left foot to hop as you drive your right knee to hip height and swing the left arm forward/right arm back.
• Land softly on your left forefoot with a slight bend in the ankle, knee, and hip; keep your torso upright.
• Step onto your right foot and immediately hop, driving the left knee up with an opposite arm swing.
• Maintain quick, light ground contacts, knees tracking over toes, and dorsiflex the airborne foot.
• Alternate sides continuously for time or distance while breathing steadily and avoiding excessive forward lean.
