Skill: Momentum
Drill: In the Bucket
Equipment needed: 1 bucket/3 small pads per line
Instructors needed: 1 per Line
Description: Students will practice MOMENTUM by demonstrating their ability to quickly hit a pad with a kick and give it enough power to land in a bucket. This will challenge them physically by requiring them to hit a pad with momentum in order to get it to the target spot.
Teaching SKILLZ:
EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION – If the student misses all their pads during their turn, the student will have five pushups. If they hit all the pads in the bucket, the instructor will have five pushups.
Brain SKILLZ:
VISUAL PROCESSING – The student must be able to see the pad and the bucket, and sidekick the pad into the bucket. This works on their ability to make sense of what they see, as they have to make sure they target the middle of the pad, judge the distance between the pad and the bucket, and judge how much power is needed for the pad to go into the bucket.
Step 1
Divide your students into lines
Step 2 – Setting Up the Drill:
The students will start standing in front of the instructor.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
  • The 1st student in line will be about 6’ from their bucket.
  • The instructor will hold 1 small pad out lined up with the bucket.
  • The student will have 3 attempts to side kick the pad into the bucket if they make the instructor get 3 jumping jacks but if they miss then the student does the exercise.
  • The students will switch to their other foot on the 2nd round.
Step 4 – Takeaways:
  • Make sure you use power on every kick.
  • Be accurate so that you always hit the target.
  • Show good speed to make yourself better.
Step 5
  • Continue each person gets 2-3 turns.
