You need 8 people
(3 fliers, 4 bases, and 1 spot extra).
Start with 2
Toss shoulders on the
outsides and a toe pitch in the middle. The toe pitch should have a
toe pitcher in the front, a tosser in the back, and a flier in the
middle (you should practice your toe pitch before you begin).
The flier needs to put her right foot in the toe pitchers hands (which
should be a right over left grip), and grab the wrists of the tosser
behind her. On count let the flier jumps off of the ground,
keeps her chin slightly tucked, chest up, and slightly gets up and
over the toe pitcher in the front. Toe pitcher needs to wait for this
moment or the flier will never be able to extend her leg fully.
Toe pitcher needs to slowing lift until half-way through the toss when
he should explode through the right leg of the flier (explode by
keeping your arms flexed, using your legs for power, then push
straight up to an extended position), then finish by keeping your arms
straight up in order make sure the toss was complete and to catch the
flier in case she falls. The tosser will toss the flier slightly
forward to help her get up and over. The flier
needs to make sure that she is able to straighten her
leg, then lift her chin, keep her arms to her side, feet placed at
shoulder with, hollow out through the mid-section and squeeze as tight
as she can. Flier will ride up and the base fliers will catch
her feet (Side bases need to bend their inside arm at the elbow with
palms/forearms up, and grab above the knee and to the inside of the
thigh with the outside arm). Base fliers need to make sure that
they need to go for the fliers feet and not just expect them to land
on their forearms. Top flier hit a Hi-V for the hit.
To dismount the bottom bases need to
dip, pop the base fliers slightly to the side, and catch their waist
on the way down. The base fliers should use the pop given to them and
shrug slightly with their shoulders upon release of the flier (do not
toss the top flier back, it should be gentle and a guide). Top
flier squeeze your arms and legs together, then place your right foot
slightly in front of you for the toe pitcher to catch. Put some weight
into the right foot so the toe pitcher can slow you down, and begin to
grab for the tosser behind you. When the tosser reaches your
waist, flier grab for his wrists, begin to bend your leg, and settle
to a finish. |
