The third player begins to jump, creating the specified elements over the rubber. The elastic band can be at the height of the players ‘ ankles, legs, knees, thighs, or even higher (these are consecutive classes that the jumper must pass). An error when executing an element is called an “aps”. If an error occurs, the turn to jump goes to the next player.
