Instuctions to class:

• Walk out to the end of the board and assume a relaxed position.
• Take four steps starting with your jumping foot and mark where you end up on the board. (This is now your starting point)
• From your starting point practice walking out to the end of the board with your three step approach.
• Each time you should start with your jumping foot first.
• You should end up in the same place every time (approximately 1-2 feet from the end of the board so that you have room for your hurdle).

Success Goal:

• Walk out to the end of the board and stop in the same place 10 times.
