Performing a standing cat pass is considered one of the more challenging maneuvers for athletes. This technique is executed without any initial momentum, often while positioned against a wall, complicating the jump. Achieving a successful cat pass may sometimes involve transitioning into a drop or precision landing, necessitating careful coordination and technique.
The primary technique for a standing cat pass involves placing hands effectively to maximize strength and pull over the edge. Proper positioning of the fingers is crucial to getting enough height during the jump, allowing the athlete to clear the obstacle. As the athlete prepares to execute the pass, they must focus on lifting their hips and maintaining a low body posture to enhance their launch into the jump.
In essence, the standing cat pass relies on solid fundamentals similar to a standard cat pass but demands special attention to positioning and body mechanics. Once the athlete is ready to navigate the wall, they must combine height with a strong pull to achieve success. With enough practice and focus on these techniques, the standing cat pass can be mastered.
Key points:
- The standing cat pass is a challenging technique performed without momentum, often while against a wall.
- Proper hand positioning and body mechanics are crucial for achieving height and overcoming obstacles.
- It shares fundamentals with the traditional cat pass but requires focused practice to master successfully.
Perform a standing cat-pass with no momentum, steps in, or run-up over a hip-height wall or greater.
This is a standard cat-pass that can be split-foot or parallel foot takeoff position. However, you cannot move your feet from the take-off position unless its to perform the cat-pass. Any shuffling or repositioning during the movement will not be acceptable.
Perform five repetitions over the wall.
No twisting of the torso and the hands must be flat on the wall with no steepling of the fingers.
