We have quite a few girls in our program from developmental through level 5 who have knees that overlap when their feet are together. In other words, they cannot place their legs straight and together, either the feet are apart or if the feet are together they are sticking one knee on top of the other to compensate. Is there anything we can do to correct this?
Also have noticed that we have quite a few girls who cannot sit in a tucked squat position w/out their heels coming off the floor. We do calf stretch in every warm-up, and we have them sit and try to hold the tucked squat with their hands off the floor, they either have to lift their butt to get their heels down or put their hands behind them on the floor so they are leaning back a bit. Any ideas? Is it just an issue of needing more aggressive calf/ankle/achilles stretching?
Thank you.
