Level: Foundation Base exercise: Checked H position to stretched landing position Variation: Purpose: This drill helps skaters work on keeping their bodies checked over the landing side while on a backwards outside edge before moving into a stretched landing position. Helps with these common mist...

Level: Foundation
Base exercise: Checked (H position) to stretched landing position
Variation: On a straight line Purpose: Doing this exercise on a straight line is easier than on a backwards outside edge, so this drill helps skaters build control moving from the checked to stretched phase of a...

Level: Foundation
Jump Phase: Landing
Base exercise: Air position to trapped then stretched landing position.
Variation: Axel leg air position hops then transfer to landing leg.
Purpose: Helps skaters practice building and improving muscle memory from in air position to a trapped then stretche...

Level: Advanced
Base exercise: Axel step over
Variations: Backwards landing hop in trap position to stretched landing position
Jump phases: Entry, take off, follow through, landing
Purpose: Trains a quick and tight weight transfer from take-off foot to landing leg in the axel, trains stabilit...

Level: Foundation
Base exercise: Stationary loop lockdown
Variation: Continuous
Purpose: This drill makes skaters work on straight vertical height without rotation, and snapping into a tight air position. By doing these exercises continuously, skaters need to have a good axis and alignment over t...

Purpose: This drill helps skaters work on a quick snap into their air position on a loop take-off, vertical height on the take-off, rotation, and control of landings so that they can do it continuously.
Focus: vertical height, tight air position, upper body control, jump combinations

Level: Foundation
Exercise: Single leg stationary: Loop take-off lockdown & 1/4 turns
Purpose: This drill helps skaters work on a quick snap into their air position on a loop take-off, vertical height on the take-off, rotation, and control of landings so that they can do it continuously.
Focus:...

Level: Foundation
Base exercise: Single leg stationary loop take-off
Variation: Lockdown, hip twist
Purpose: Skaters can improve their quick twitch firing on their jump take-offs by doing hip twists. This helps the skater learn how to generate vertical height and then rotation through their hips...
