Game version
Star partners: a partner calls a point of the star and you reach there on one leg. Swap.
Star Reach Balance
Stand on one leg and reach the other foot out to the front, side and back, like the points of a star.

The steps
How it works
- Stand on one leg in the middle of three taped lines.
- Reach the other foot along each line as far as you can and tap lightly.
- Return to the middle without touching down between reaches.
- Do 3 rounds on each leg.
Coaching point
Hips level, knee over toes.
Safety: Practice on soft ground or near a wall with clear space around you, so a wobble is no problem.
Make it fun
Play it, don't drill it
Challenge
Choose a level: Less (a hand on the wall), Core (free), More (reach a little farther). Steady beats far.
Story
You are a ballerina drawing a star on the floor with your toe.
