My preference is to teach beginners a straight leg hurdle, with late lunge. Tammy Biggs talks about the pros and cons of straight leg vs bent leg hurdle here.
Straight leg is cleaner, for sure.
My two favourite round-off drills could be added to Jason’s list.
• “cartoff” (cartwheel to run backwards)
• fly round-off on trampoline (feet together round-off)
Both are easy for beginners. Neither allows the kids to pike down.
