- Warm-up. Stick balancing on chin. 15 min. Working towards balancing the stick for the entire 15 min, but when I get to 3-5 min at a time I'll be in good shape. Currently at around 30-45s.
- 4 Ball warm-up.

- Pick one feature to focus on:
- Consistent Height
- Keep all throws the same height
- Special focus on RH, as it tosses a little lower
- Minimum Height
- Keep all throws above a minimum height
- At least an extended arm's length above head
- The higher the better, but maintain accuracy
- Elbows Tucked In
- No "Frankenstein-ing"
- Don't let one hand toss forward/backward
- Consistent Width
- Throws land inside/near shoulders
- No "wax-on/"wax off"
- Arms go up and down more than in circles

- Play time!
