Type: Class

Part 1 of a 2-part class. Sequences, handling skills and course work will be a major portion of this class. Emphasis will be on honing basic handling skills: front cross, rear cross, and blind cross. Higher level skills will be introduced such as: backsides, threadles, serpentines, 270's, pinwheels, boxes, and discriminations. Specific issues will be addressed as needed: lack of focus, start line woes, weave woes, contact performance, building drive, etc. Expect to work short sequences (rather than full courses). Course analysis will be introduced (what is the best strategy for handling the most common challenges). Teams should be weaving 6 poles and have contact criteria established and reasonably consistent. Students should expect to repeat this class.
