Game version
Stance mirror: a partner leads stance, motion and level changes and you copy, with no contact. Swap leaders every 30 seconds.
Level Change Drops
Lower your level by bending your knees, not your waist, then come back to stance.
By Coach Evan Waechtler Youth coach (U11, Cache Valley, Utah) and founder of SSTracker Updated October 30, 2026

The steps
How it works
- Start in your stance.
- Drop your hips straight down until your thighs are nearly level.
- Keep your back straight and your eyes forward.
- Rise back up. Do 4 sets of 10.
Coaching point
Bend the knees, not the back.
Safety: Keep your back straight. Stop if your knees hurt.
Make it fun
Play it, don't drill it
Challenge
Pick a level: Less (slow), Core (steady), More (the leader changes direction). Beat your own steadiest mirror.
Story
