Lateral Cone Hops

Technique

How to perform Lateral Cone Hops

1. Place a cone beside you with enough clear landing space on either side; a line of cones can be used for a longer sequence.
2. Stand with both feet close together and soften your hips and knees.
3. Hop sideways over the cone with both feet, using only the height needed to clear it.
4. Land on both feet and bend your ankles, knees and hips to absorb the contact.
5. Rebound over the next cone, or back over the same cone when using one.
6. Keep the sequence controlled and practice travel in both directions.
