Details
Whole body alignment helps beginners maintain comfort and predictability while learning essential skills. This fundamental focuses on how the body naturally organizes itself during movement and marker handling.
Beginners should keep their shoulders relaxed and aligned with their hips to avoid twisting or leaning backward. This alignment helps prevent unnecessary strain and makes marker handling more consistent.
Foot orientation also plays a role. Keeping both feet pointed approximately in the same direction creates a balanced platform. This reduces instability and makes transitions between standing and leaning positions smoother.
The spine should remain neutral, avoiding excessive arching or slouching. A neutral posture supports better breathing and stability, which helps beginners remain comfortable throughout games.
Developing these alignment habits early provides a strong foundation for future mechanics that require coordinated posture and movement.
