Hop the World

HTW

★★★★★ Age 10+ both feet Level 5 · Freestyle and Show

An around-the-world done while you hop on the other foot. You are in the air the whole time.

Set it up like this. You need a clean around-the-world first. Do not skip it.

Study holds every step and names it. Flow runs them together at speed. Space bar plays and pauses; arrow keys step one frame.

Where the ball actually goes

The strip shows you; this shows the ball. Every turn in this book is a shape on the grass.

The shape the ball draws

1 2 3 4 Seen from above · you start at the feet

The ball stays with you. This one is about touch, not travel.

Practise it — Hop and circle

15 goes each foot. Land on your feet.

Coach says

Hop first, circle second. Both in the air.

Watch out

  • Hopping too late, so you land before the circle.
  • Trying this before your around-the-world is clean.
