## Scissor Jump Teaching Points

- Approach the jump at an approximately 30-degree angle
- The body should be side onto the obstacle
- Take off from the foot furthest away from the obstacle
- The leg nearest the bar travels over first
- ALWAYS LAND ON FEET
- Pupils should drive up the lead leg with a bent knee
- If they take off on the wrong foot, swap sides to see if that helps
