1. Bare hand and glove flips. Bare hand flips you want to have the least spin as possible. 

2. Set up 4 cones to have 1 athlete at each cone, not too far away.

3. They will go around and flip to each other in a square. This helps glove control, spin control, and understanding each flip in each situation.
