Watch for proper posture, good pushes, tight proper turns, good foot position and good ring protections when using rings

3. Head on Passing and Receiving (8 times total – 4 times in each pair)
Keys to watch:
Calling for the ring
Good passes from far apart
Good sighting of the ring and good receiving
Make sure the lines don’t creep together
Make sure they aren’t doing drop passes at this point.
Do this 2 times both ways and then move one set to the other group and bring the other set into the first group
Repeat 4 more times
Head on passes are the toughest to make and receive so this may not go well to start, but encourage them to try hard. This will lead to drop passes and well as backward passing as well
