"Hey welcome back everyone!" Coach yells, welcoming us all back to our second home. Matt and I step on the blue mat hand-in-hand and walk over to our usual stretching spot.

"Want me to stretch your scorpion?" Matt asks with a hopeful smile on his face. I nod and kick up my left leg for him to take. I lean forward and wrap my arms around his waist and he pulls up my leg until it nearly touches his face.

"You're more flexible today than usual Summer." Matt comments randomly.

"I know," I laugh. "I stretched last night and before I came to practice." I kick up my other leg and Matt pulls it almost as high. Then I let go after a moment and have him stretch my bow and arrow and front stretch.

After a couple more minutes, Coach calls us over to the center of the mat to tell us about a new program we're starting this week.

"Alright as you all know, we are starting the Stunt-O-Thon Clinic this weekend. You and your stunt group will be asked to execute a stunt with the rest of the other stunt groups. Say the stunt was full up to front stretch tick-tock to bow and arrow double down, and one stunt group dropped while all the others didn't. The group that messed up would be out, and the others would move to the second round. Then the last group left will win a special prize..."

Matt and I looked at each other and squealed. I was going to get to stunt with Matt and possibly win something win him this weekend! This was a great way for us to bond and learn to trust each other. I was so excited!

"Okay so now we're just going to practice stunting to get y'all ready for this weekend." Coach said, smiling. We walked over to our spots with our stunt groups and waited for Coach to call out a stunt.

"Ok we're going to do a scorpion in a prep position and then up into a two-legged extension. Simple." We got into our places and Coach played some music.

"And a five-six-seven-eight..." The flyer in the group next to me forgot her scorpion and Coach called her out. We practiced a couple more times until it was time to go home for the night.

"I need you here at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday morning!" Then we smiled and jogged out of the gym into the cubby/locker room.
