Purpose: Skaters should practice this drill to help with their free leg control and upper body control. As skaters lift their free leg on their salchow and bring it through for the take-off, the spinner will force skaters to keep free leg low and narrow. Maintaining their hands over their hips also will help to keep their skating side back.
Focus: free leg control, upper body control, salchow, balance, coordination
