Stalls
Stalls are a type of direction change where the jumper brings the rope to a complete stop and reverses the direction of the rope, allowing the jumper to transition from jumping forwards to backwards or vice versa without turning their body. The jumper does this by either by letting the rope contact their body in some way or in the space around them, such as between their legs.
Coach Chris’s Top Tips
✅ Count your jumps, the stall itself will take two ‘beats’
✅ Let your hands pass by your sides as you reverse the rope’s direction
✅ Be gentle as you stall the rope so it doesn’t flick up at you
‼️ Avoid pulling away from the stall too early
‼️ Avoid jumping too early as you exit the stall
