2 min. Introduction: Review the three phases of
the hurdle. The teacher will ask the
students what a lead leg and trail leg is. The
teacher will also ask one student to
physically demonstrate a proper lead leg
and trail leg. Once the demonstration is
over the teacher will show pictures of
athletes performing hurdling properly.
Students are lined up
on the starting line
facing the instructors.
Cones will designate
the starting line.
Students must start

student in that lane hurdles over the last
hurdle the next person in line will go.
Students will focus on getting their lead leg
knee height or higher. The students will use
the leg they felt most comfortable with last
class.
2) Students will go twice at a jogging pace
and twice at a sprinting pace.

hurdle the students next in line are
responsible for analyzing the quality of
movement from the athlete performing.
The students will give their peer feedback
on either something they did correctly or
something they can work on.

and four hurdles per
lane. Once the student
