Climbing Drills
Walking Up and Down the Hill (without board) Drill
Have the athletes practice walking, running or jumping on their toes while moving uphill. Most of the athletes may have problems staying in good riding position while standing on the toes. Practicing the movements without a board can give them a feeling for the movement in a safe way.
Climb to a Point Drill
Have the athlete stand at the bottom of a relatively shallow slope. Place the athlete in the correct position. Climb the hill ahead of the athlete and turn around. Have the athlete practice climbing toward you.
