Cartwheel- Place hands on floor


Place the dominant hand down first followed by the non dominant hand to your dominant side. Lateral flexion to the right of the spinal column in the frontal plane is used. Force must be used to push and pull the appendicular skeleton back to it's anatomical position.
Cue: Kick up with straight legs and push with your hands.


Drill: Depending on the age and level place a mat folded on the floor and have the child place their hands and jump over the mat first with two feet then one foot at a time. Once they master that have them kick up off the floor one foot at a time with leg fully extended.
