Our L2 Teacher Training Program runs through June and July and will be approx. 15 hours of lecture and skill breakdown over the span of 9 weeks. Using many of the progression techniques introduced in level one, the content of this level is meant to teach coaches how to lead students into more complicated foot lock skills, gain the ability to execute fundamental skills in the air, and be introduced to the fundamental drops patterns of falling forward, backward, and rolling horizontally. The educational portion of this teacher training covers topics to expand the instructor’s knowledge of the human body to better observe student’s execution and cue engagement from a place of deeper understanding. These topics include wrap fundamentals, abdominals engagement, overhead shoulder mechanics, hip mobility etc. Practical classes run 2:30-3:50 every Wednesday. 4 of the weeks, students will begin at 2pm for an extended class to accomodate the lecture portions of the class.
