L4. Skipping

Exploration Developing Mastering

Step-hop Pattern

• A step-hop

action is

evident but

not

consistent

and often

results in a

step-step or

hop-hop

action.

• The step-hop

action is more

consistent

with enough

force

generated to

allow for

sustained

skipping.

• The step-hop

action is smooth

and coordinated.

Arms • Arms are no

coordinated,

thus the skill

can become

unbalanced.

• Arms are co-

ordinated,

rhythmical and

aid balance.

• Arms are used

effectively to

maintain

balance are well

coordinated with

the leg action.

Legs • The skipping is

uncoordinated

and seems to

lack rhythm.

• Knee drive is at

times not high

enough and the

landing is flat

footed.

• The pupil will land

on their toes.
