Game version
Count-and-sync game: your stunt group practices the counts and positions at ground level while the coach watches, and every clean run of the counts earns the group a clap.
Stunt Group Count and Timing
Move as one group on the counts, with no lifting, so real stunts later stay in time.
By Coach Evan Waechtler Youth coach (U11, Cache Valley, Utah) and founder of SSTracker Updated October 30, 2026

The steps
How it works
- Stand in your stunt group spots on the floor.
- One person calls the counts 1 to 8 out loud.
- All dip on 1 and 2 and rise to tall on 3 and 4, with no one lifted.
- Do 10 rounds until everyone moves on the same count.
Coaching point
Same count, same move.
Safety: No stunting at home. This is a floor drill only: nobody lifts or stands on anyone.
Make it fun
Play it, don't drill it
Challenge
Pick a level: Less (counts only), Core (counts and positions on the ground), More (the full routine with the coach spotting). Move up only with your coach’s OK.
Story
You are builders stacking a tower, one careful block at a time.
My best
Beat your own count
Move up only with your coach’s OK. Only your own number counts: today against last time.
