over the high jump bar, which is set at a low height.

Over The Cones Drill (10 Minutes)
Purpose: Jumpers improve rhythm and practice penultimate step.
Setup: Place three cones 5 meters apart on the track.
How It Works:
1. Jumper uses a three-stride rhythm between cones.
2. Jumper runs up to the first cone and jumps over it.
Then proceeds to do the same with the next two
cones.
3. Complete 3-5 sets.
Coaching Tips:
Standing High Jump Drill (10 Minutes)
Purpose: Stresses a good layout position from the high jumper.
Setup: You need a stable box that is able to withstand the pressure of a jump. The box should be placed about 2 feet away from the bar. The bar should be set at a height that allows the jumper to clear it with relative ease.
How It Works:
1.
From a standing position, the jumper will stand
with his or her back to the bar.
2. With a two foot takeoff, the jumper leaps back
(with arm swing) and extends the body over the
bar.
3. The upper body leads over the bar with the knees
bent slightly and spread apart to near shoulder
width.
4. The jumper should finish with the thighs lifting the rest of the legs, knees, and then feet over the bar.
