Leanne Ellis : Bowties

10
mins

Objective
Incorporating transition stops into a drill that mimics being hit out and returning to track.
Activity

Pre-requisites: Transitions, transition stops

Skaters should envision a rectangle on the track, with four points being inner/outer track lines of a 10 foot boundary. There are four stages to the drill, and it is then repeated over and over. The drill simulates being hit out of the track, running back with urgency, re-entering, and then sprinting diagonally to the opposite side of the track away from the invisible person who hit them out. Make sure skaters are facing into the track when they are simulating the hit out.

  1. They start on a corner at the "lower" boundary, and go diagonally forwards on the track towards the opposite "upper" boundary, arriving at this point using a transition stop - landing outside of the track.
  2. They will then run parallel down the track, to the same side's lower boundary, arriving at this point using a transition s top, remaining outside of the track.
  3. They then re-enter the track and sprint diagonally to the opposite side's upper boundary, arriving using a transition stop outside of the track.
  4. They run down that side of the track (outside still), arriving back at the starting point using a transition stop.

To level up this drill, have another skater facilitate the participant by standing in the middle of the track in front of their rectangle, holding up fingers that the participating skater will call out. This encourages skaters to become track aware by not looking at the boundary lines as they are looking at the facilitating skater.

Check For Learning

Urgency, re-entering legally, quick stopping of the transitions (bent knees with feet close together with a fast stop)
