Week 8: 12/21, 12/19, 12/18

12/21 KC. More HJ tonight -- Sam and Noah mixed in some HJ with sprint and PV, respectively. Keaton, Nick, Rachel and Michaela were there for the duration. Started with flexibility, fwd and bkw skips, L+R shuffle, 3-point line runs -- some with pop up, pop turns, takeoff skips, low walks. 4-step approach to sit on stacked mats, which we did primarily for Noah and Sam. Each jumper selected their own targets for improvement -- mostly at moderate heights. Finished with rudiments to strengthen ankles and lower legs (double and single mini hops with minimal knee flexion).

Ground drills were 3-pt-line runs, pop turns, takeoff skips and low walks. Pit drills were bridges, flipovers, backovers and 2-step jumps. Full run throughs followed and then 5-6x full jumps. Lea made a jump near 5-1. Rachel made 4-8 and was very close at 4-11. Michaela, Maia and Bianca worked around 4-8 as did Sam. Noah made 4-8 and took a few jumps at 4-11.
