3 and 5 Step Jumps
Have the athlete run back (arm length from the bar, just inside the near standard) 3 or 5 steps marking the spot where the step is. This mark will be inside of their normal run because they will not be moving as fast. Make sure they still run the turn.
Walk in or Jog in 5 Steps
Same as above but move to the takeoff spot by either walking of jogging in. This is good linking to the full approach and less stressful than full approach jumps.
Full Approach with Scissors Kick
Athletes will run their approach but clear the bar with an upright scissoring action of their legs. Emphasis will be on the takeoff step action before bar clearance. A bar or a bungi bar can be used for this drill. Set at a height where it will not alter the takeoff step sequence.
