From Mary Lee Tracy.
Before kids are ready to flip, they should be skilled at this fun drill.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
This way they are working on the most dangerous phase – landing – long before they have to worry about rotation.
Don’t stay on this drill too long, however, as it teaches them NOT to flip. It’s useful only for a very short phase of the skill development.
Another thing I like about the drill is that it starts new Yurchenko kids off thinking about doing the twist late. 🙂
