DESCRIPTION

Place your finger in the middle of the back of your partner and try and keep it there.

The partner then walks around changing direction, stopping, starting and side-stepping etc.

COACHING POINTS

The person following should have bent knees and be in a ready position so as to be able to change direction at any time.
