Skill: Precision
Drill: Look First
Equipment needed: 1 Wavemaster top / 1 Clapper Pad Per Line
Instructors needed: 1 per Line
Description: The students will practice PRECISION by demonstrating 3 spin hook kicks over an obstacle hitting a pad they want to do their best to not to miss the target.
Teaching SKILLZ:
NEUROBICS – The instructor can challenge the students by having them say the name of a color, animal, food, or another simple category each time they kick the target, without repeating. This will connect the left and right hemispheres of their brain as well as keep the students engaged.
Brain SKILLZ:
VISUAL PROCESSING – The student must do their kick, but look over their shoulder first and spot their target before hand. This works on their ability to make sense of what they see, as when they see their target, they know it is okay to kick.
Step 1
Divide your students into lines.
Step 2 – Setting Up the Drill:
For each line you will need an instructor.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
  • The 1st student will stand in front of the wavemaster top.
  • They will place their kicking foot in the back and then turn and look over their shoulder.
  • Once they can see the pad, then they can kick it.
Step 4 – Takeaways:
  • Look before you kick so that you know what you’re kicking.
  • Kick the pad as hard as you can.
  • Chamber before you kick and hit a full extension on each kick.
Step 5
  • Continue until each student has 2 – 3 turns.
