limbers and walkovers
Many of our once-a-week kids will NEVER do a walkover or limber – forward or backward- in their lives. And that’s OK.
But for those who do, best are drills with the feet elevated. Most of the weight should be on the shoulders and upper back, not the lower back.

Here’s a good idea for one of your circuits. Kids who do not yet have strong enough hip flexors can still train the glide swing. 🙂
