Level: Foundation
Exercise: Layback snap position to layback hold on spinner
Purpose: Skaters benefit from practicing their basic spin phases off the ice because without the added difficulty of spin momentum, they can ensure that their shapes and positions are correct while developing correct muscle memory. Doing this on a spinner also helps skaters practice keeping their weight balanced on their blade in the positions.
Focus: Basic technique, walk-through, layback phases
Direction: Counterclockwise
Equipment: Spinner
