First we started warming up so that we were nice and loose and ready to do the drills. For the warm up we just went for a jog just so all the muscle were loose. We done this for about 5 Minutes before moving onto the main activity and skill based exercise.
In the main activity we focused on one main skill, basic twists.
The first part of basic twists is to position yourself in the middle of the trampoline, the technique needs you to start the jump as much like a straight jump as possible and, as you get close to the point of last contact you twist your arms and shoulders upwards into the direction of twist, this is like coiling a spring. As you leave the trampoline the resistance previously keeping your feet in place no longer occurs, this allows the spring to uncoil and your feet now join in the twist; continuing to ‘reach round’ the twist with your arms and shoulders helps complete further twist which should now be lean-free. This is because it allows you to go further allowing you to complete the full twist meaning you can gain more more points for the skill.
