Coaches single leg basket swing drills

[hammy1207]

We have decided to have our level 3s do the new single leg basket swing (instead of forward stride circle) in preparation for competition next year, as it is closer to the kipping action than the forward stride circle. The girls are doing okay with the skill using a bent leg, but they must have straight legs. Does anyone have any drills for this skill? It is my first time teaching this skills (other than the hooked knee version). Thanks!

Show them how to flex their "quads" and tell them a straight leg can be pressed over and down at the end of the stride basket to help put more weight on the opposite side of the bar.
