Toeside Turn
A toeside turn will be in a different direction depending on the athlete's front foot preference. Those who are regular-footed (left foot forward) will be making a turn to the right, while the goofy-footed (right foot forward) will make a toeside turn to the left.
The athlete begins in a centered balance stance. To initiate a toeside turn, the athlete will begin to apply pressure to the balls of the feet, and will begin to lower his or her body as the hips are turned slightly in the direction of the turn.
NOTE: Turning rotation happens at the hips, NOT the shoulders. The shoulders should remain relatively still when a turn is initiated. Rotation is provided by equal movement of the ankles, knees and hips.
