| Intro | Falling star/Falling star to bridge |

| Level 2 (Auburn IT) | Valdez with/out spot |
| Level 3 | Valdez step-in BHS |

| BHS | Valdez step-in BHS with/out octagon |
<aside> ❓
The Why? Continuing to work the continuity of the Valdez progressions AND adding a connection when appropriate.

<aside> 🚧
Corrections: Falling star is a drive through the heel while they lift through the hips; working shoulder flexibility and strength to support their weight.

Focus: Carwheel(s)
</aside>
| Intro | Half-moon on block |
| Level 1 (Auburn BT) | Half-moon variation against wall/block |
| Level 2 (Auburn BT + IT) | Cartwheel against wall |
| Level 3 (Auburn BT + IT) | Cartwheel step-in against wall |
| Level 4 | N/A |
| BHS | Cartwheel step-in BHS with/out octagon |
<aside> ❓
The Why? This will be hard for some athletes as we move through our cartwheel body shapes against the wall. The wall will help reinforce head in and legs OVER the body, not helicopter around.

<aside> 🚧
Corrections: Our cartwheels move from a closed hip position to an open hip position. These drills will get athletes ready to stack their hips through the movement. Remind them to really square their body to the side!
