P.E. Lessons Plans for Track & Field In The Classroom
Article By: John Tansley
Have students
form a line up to the front of the HJ pit. Standing with their
backs toward the pit and their heels a foot or so away, one-by-one
have them jump backwards off both feet and land on their mid to
upper backs in the pit. Instruct them not to look back, but to
watch their hands and feet in the air and do a backwards roll
in the pit if they can. (The first time through, spot jumpers
by placing your hand in the small of the back to be sure they
land in the pit.)
