Set Induction

Today we are going to learn how to jump and do tricks on a trampoline. What sports do you do jumps in? Why don’t you show me how you guys jump at your spot?

Organizational Format

When I say “go” I want you to line up side by side when the white taped line is. When I say “go” one at a time you will run and jump on the trampoline and land, then return back to the end of the line. O.K. now where do you stand?
