Youth players

Working with kidsI Use short, kid-friendly explanations (e.g., “Make ice cream scoops” for freestyle arms). • Demonstrate each skill before asking them to try. • Physically guide them when needed, like supporting their back in a float.

Working with teenagers I Teach skills, then let them try on their own rather than guiding every step. • Give personalized feedback and encourage them to analyze their own technique.
