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 Calls and Reset
Practice the words your group uses to start, hold and safely bring down a stunt.

The steps
How it works
- With your coach, agree on the start call, the hold call and the down call.
- Walk through each call on the floor with no stunt.
- Practice the down call at random times so everyone reacts fast.
- Do 10 calls, then use them in coached stunts.
Coaching point
Loud, clear, same words every time.
Safety: Only with a trained coach and spotters, on mats or a sprung floor. Never stunt at home. Any hit to the head, or dizziness or a headache after a fall: stop, tell your coach, and no more stunting or tumbling until a doctor clears you.
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
