Purpose: This exercise mimics the mechanics of the on-ice take-off to air position. It will help skaters to drive up off their toe and click into a tight air position.
Focus: calf raise, upper body check, free leg hip stability, glute activation, tight air position

Purpose: This drill helps skaters work on the timing of a loop jump take-off take-off into follow-through

Focus: Loop take-off, loop follow-through, timing, upper body position, arm position, tight air position, body coordination

Purpose: This drill helps skaters build their hip adductors, or inner thigh muscles, so that they can pull into a tight air position for more rotation

Focus: Tight air position, hip adductors, h position

Purpose: This drill challenges and improves a skater's ability to do continuous rotation, and also change the conditions within the same drill. It is challenging to land with control on one foot for the max rotation at the end after doing a few rotations before.
Focus: Reactivity, continuous rota...

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: Loop take-off, Vertical height, tight air position, upper body control, jump combinations

Purpose: This drill helps skaters build muscle memory for body positioning in a loop take-off into air position as well as from air position into jump landings
Focus: Axis, alignment, tight air position, take-off hip flexion, landing hip flexion, triple extension

Level: Foundation
Base exercise: Backward glide air position squeeze
Variation: Practice on a straight line, switch feet while gliding, exit into stretched landing position
Purpose: This drill helps skaters practice the muscle engagement needed to hold a tight air position. By doing this dril...

Level: Foundation
Base exercise: Back spin to H position
Variation: Back spin cross position before the H position into loop jump exit
Purpose: This is a key, bread and butter drill to help skaters with their axis and air position, alignment, and loop jump. Skaters need to develop the control...
