Place 3 hula hoops, chalked circles or use intersecting lines on the ground.
The player runs to land in the first hoop on 2 feet
They then run to land in the second hoop landing on their right foot first, then place their left foot on the ground.
The player then runs to the 3rd hoop and lands on their left foot first followed by the right foot.
Coaching points
The aim of this activity is to practice landing, balanced in a stable balanced position.
Look out for these common faults:
Feet not shoulder width apart. Knees not in line with feet. Insufficient bend in hips/knees. Weight not equally distributed. Trunk leaning too far forward.
Progression:
Add a pass and return element as players land in the hoop. This can be just for the final hoop or at all three hoops with more experienced players.
