Day 2: Posture, Ribs and Breathing
One small skill. One game. One thing to remember.
Foundation & Arm Care
Stand tall, breathe slowly and reach overhead without arching. Work slowly first, then try the small game. A parent or coach can help.
The reason
A gentle warm-up prepares the body for play.
One cue
Exhale all the way.
Keep it simple
- Exhale all the way.
- Practice in a safe space with an adult and stop if form fades.
Keep this
Today I can practice posture, ribs and breathing with control.
Before you go
Show or explain the best choice you made today. What will you try next time?
Ask after practice
Tell your adult: What went well? What will you try next time?
Ten-chance movement game
Stand tall, breathe slowly and reach overhead without arching. Try up to ten comfortable chances. Give yourself a point for each focused try or smart decision, even if the result is not perfect.
Bronze 4–6 · Silver 7–8 · Gold 9–10. A better score replaces your previous score, without stacking points.
Day 2 complete?
Mark complete after you try the lesson. You can change this later.
Practice safely
Have an adult supervise. Use bodyweight and open space; no maximum lifting or throwing tests. Follow league throwing limits. Stop if anything hurts.
If something hurts, stop and tell an adult. Keep throwing within your league’s rules and the player’s comfort.
