Stand behind the marker with your weakest foot forward
Take off from your front foot and land on the same foot (hop). Practice the hop a few times.
Next add the step in, so when you land from your hop, now step and land on your opposite foot. Practice the hop-step a few times until you feel confident.
Add the final part, the jump! When you have landed from the step, take off from the same foot and land with both feet together. Practice your hop-step-jump until you feel confident.
