These are TRAVELING SKILLS with the tennis ball as an added neurological stimulus. They now have another layer of thought going on with their movement patterns that already challenge the system.
-
Here are the variations we can make:
Change traveling skill pattern
Change traveling skill direction
Change traveling skill contacts
Change tennis ball throw height
Change self vs partner throws
The list goes on and on.
-
Not only do these represent a challenge but the athlete actually have fun doing them. Warmups traditionally aren’t the most neurologically stimulating thing of the day so this ramps that up to another level.
-
We use all traveling patterns. This day we did:
Forward backward Carioca 2-2
Backward low gallops 1-1
Backward run 1-1
Forward and backward skips
