Coaching Points
Place the front edge of the hoop on top of one foot and stand with the feet side by side. To get the hoop to move around, simply move the foot with the hoop on forwards so that it clips the back of the other heel. This will set the hoop in motion, simply lift the standing foot as the hoop comes around. Try to get one revolution, then two in a row and so on until you have mastered the movement.
