Game version
Beam buddies: walk the line or low beam while a partner cheers each steady step. Swap, and the pair collects ten steady crossings.
Beam Routine Walk-Through
Rehearse your beam routine on a floor line, then on a low beam with your coach.

The steps
How it works
- Walk through your routine on the floor line, saying each skill out loud.
- Practice a pause and a calm reset after each skill.
- Run it again with no stops.
- Move to a low beam only when your coach says so.
Coaching point
Breathe, reset, next skill.
Safety: The floor line is for home. Any beam work is only in a gym with your coach and mats.
Make it fun
Play it, don't drill it
Challenge
Pick a level: Less (a wide line), Core (low beam), More (add a turn). Beat your own best steady crossing.
Story
You are a tightrope walker over a canyon, calm and steady.
