Skill: Force
Drill: Hurdles
Equipment needed: Stackable kicking shields/obstacles for students to jump over for each line.
Instructors needed: Several to monitor and coach
Description: The students will increase their FORCE by understanding the correct speed, timing and footwork needed to jump with minimal set up.
Step 1
  • Divide your class into even lines.  
Step 2 – Explain the Rules:
  • Students will have 60 seconds to complete as many 2 step, 1 leg take off jumps as they can.
  • Once they’ve cleared all obstacles, they will cycle through the line and repeat for the duration of the round.
  • In the next round, increase the height of the obstacles for the students that are able to clear level one.
  • Repeat this cycle for at least 3 rounds.
Step 3 – Takeaways:
  • Don’t fixate one the obstacles; keep your eyes up, where you would target your kick.
  • Set yourself up for your best jump; use your arms for speed and lift, step quickly and pre-pivot your body with your last step.
  • Control your landing to be both safe and strong for your follow up hit.
Step 4
  • Continue for at least 3 rounds.
