Full Rotation Drill (Kelly Corcoran Smith)

This is the last in a series of Kelly’s warm-ups. After his one footed warmups, he has the skaters try full turns.

Adding a full rotation during each ‘swoop’ can be advanced for younger skaters, but bringing the feet together for a true two-foot turn can be a good learning crutch.

Once this feels comfortable, Kelly shows how he has them in almost a spread-eagle position during the rotation. Kelly breaks down the complete process step-by-step.

This drill is a great foundation for mohawks and three turns. Adding in a bend and staying low lends a little stability with the feet a bit wider.
