Coaching Points
To begin with, take smaller and slower steps to gallop until you have mastered the movement. Using a large hoop will be easier. Try to focus your gaze at a fixed object and make sure you stay facing that object throughout the movement. This activity is difficult as it requires your body to move in multiple directions at the same time as you move around the circle e.g. sideways and backwards.

Coaching Points
Aim to land each hop 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 hopping, if you are leaning too far forward you will find it difficult to hop backwards, and vice versa. If you lose control, take your time and get set again before you continue. Practice with your left and right foot.
