2. 2. Jump towards the ceiling
3. 3. Bend, touch, and snap
4. 4. Arms reaching for water
5. 5. Land!
High school:
.
Trampolines will be used in this school. The kids will practice touching their toes and landing on their[HRB5] feet so the teacher can get an idea of their abilities in order to actually perform the dive on the board. The students will practice on the diving board, touching their toes and landing in the pool feet first, not diving.
Task: to get them used to jumping in the air and getting the movement down and the fluidity of the movement down before they go off the diving board.
They land with their feet first.
Middle school[HRB6] :
Start out by stretching to get them loosened up
Task: get them used to the height that is needed to perform the dive
Have them do tasks on little trampolines to get them used to height and not being afraid of jumping high. Have the students practice touching their toes and jumping off the diving board to get height, landing in the pool feet first
Have something hanging from the ceiling that they have to reach, like a string that would be the perfect height to perform the dive.
There could be different stations depending on the height of the person so that it’s modified for everyone.
