How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Begin in an athletic stance and perform quick, short foot contacts in place or in the assigned direction.
  2. 02On the coach's signal, bend quickly and place your hands on the floor before extending the legs behind you.
  3. 03Lower the chest and hips to the ground only if the drill standard requires full contact.
  4. 04Push up, bring the feet beneath the body, and return to the athletic stance as quickly as control allows.
  5. 05Resume the fast-feet pattern immediately and keep each descent and recovery balanced rather than diving blindly.
