Equipment needed:
A stack of foam blocks or similar targets per line
Instructors needed:

Description:
The students will develop their balance by kicking blocks that are thrown in the air while keeping their leg up. This is great for muscular development, gross motor skill development, and foot-eye coordination.

Step 1
Divide your students into lines
Step 2 – Setting Up the Drill:
For each line you will need an instructor and a stack of foam blocks or similar targets.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
Stand with one leg in the air.
I will toss a block in the air and you must try and kick it while keeping your leg up.
You will continue to kick the blocks as long as you do not put your foot down.
The goal is to try and kick all of the blocks without putting your foot down.
Step 4 – Takeaways:
Strengthen legs
Focus on balance as you kick targets out of the air with one leg in the air
Step 5
Continue until each student has at least three turns.
