Description:
The students will practice their COORDINATION in this drill by being challenged to do 2 things at one time!
Teaching SKILLZ: Intrinsic Motivation
Instruction: Allow each student to choose their own number of kicks between 1–10. Giving them autonomy boosts motivation and effort, as they feel ownership over their performance.
Brain SKILLZ: Attention Control
Students must stay focused on their chosen number and maintain concentration throughout the sequence of kicks—building sustained attention and mental discipline.
Step 1
Divide your students into even lines.
Step 2 – Explain the Rules:
The instructor will call a number between 1-10
The first student in line will hold one foot up to touch the clapper pad.
Then they will have to jump, switch knees and kick the other pad (jump front kick style)
Then continue to switch without falling for the amount of reps the instructor called.
Step 3 – Takeaways
Go at your own pace; only go fast if you feel you have great COORDINATION.
Don’t forget to chamber your knee up high on each kick.
