Coaching Points
As you prepare to jump bend your knees and swing your arms backwards behind the body, jump by pushing down through your leg, swinging the arms forwards. Lean the body both forwards and towards the side that you are landing on when you are about to jump. Whilst you are in the air, swap the positions of the legs so that the non standing leg is raised out in front of the body. Pause for a few moments until you have captured your balance before you jump again.

Coaching Points
Aim to land each jump in between the cones. Before you take off again, check that you are balanced. Think about the position of your upper body and head when you are jumping, if you are leaning too far forwards you will find it difficult to jump backwards, and vice versa. If you lose control, take your time and get set again before you continue.

Silver Challenge
Can you complete the activity clapping your feet together in the air after each jump, before you land?
