• March with exaggerated and forceful high knee action
• Move arms forcefully through full range of motion
• Keep toes pointed up when driving knee
• March 10-15 yards

Advanced: To increase the speed of movement, progress to a skipping motion, making two consecutive contacts with each foot. This adds rhythm to the warm-up.

Coaching Point: The March should not be a choppy motion but a clean range of motion. It’s like a soldier marching by driving his knee up, keeping his toe up and getting full extension from the back leg.
