The moment Alyssa heard the Professor's whistle, she slowed down by pulling back ever so gently on the broom handle. Then she flew over to where the Professor was standing and listened as she gave instructions for the next portion of the class.

They were to fly through the moving hoops. 'Okay that sounds like fun.' Alyssa thought to herself and she flew towards the moving hoops. Hovering near the hoops, she first studied their momentum and the timing of each hoop, as they moved back and forth. She then judged the speed of each hoop as it moved.

She was willing to give it a try. The first hoop she had to navigate through was the red, followed by the orange then yellow, green, blue and then purple.

Leaning forward on her broomstick and headed for the red hoop. Pointing her broom handle downwards, Alyssa leaned forward and started a little closer to the ground until she was level with the red hoop. As she flew through the red hoop, it began moving. Alyssa quickly leaned left, pointing the broomstick towards the left and flew safely flew through the hoop before it started moving back the other way.

Now for the orange hoop. It was a little higher than the first hoop, and more to her left, so Alyssa leaned a little to the left and leaned forward on her broom while pulling up on the broom handle. The broom immediately starting rising and once Alyssa was near the orange hoop, she focussed on the center of the hoop, gauging its movement and when she had the timing right, she maneuvered her broomstic and flew from underneath the hoop and out through the top of it as she continued to point her broom handle up. She had now cleared the 2nd hoop.
