"pancakes on the water"
1. Look for a stone about the size of your palm;it should be as smooth and flat as possible. Some believe that the best stone is a round stone, but the champion of throwing stones on the water believes that it is best when the stone has a triangular shape. When you are ashore, you will be able to determine what is best for you.
2. If we talk about water, then smooth and calm water is better than the one that moves and on which there is excitement.
3. Of great importance are also grip and throw. With your index finger, hold the edge of the stone from the outside, pressing it( stone) with your thumb to the middle finger( Fig.).
4. Stand facing the water, take the throwing arm back and turn back and in the direction that you will make the throw( Fig.).
When your arm comes forward and completely straightens, throw the stone with a sharp movement of the wrist so that it flies in the top. The speed of the throw is important, but even more important is the torsion. Torsion stabilizes the stone and ensures its bouncing along the water, rather than immersing it. The stone must have a speed, it must spin and fly almost parallel to the water when it touches it.
Baseball Game
* Buy many "Wiffle" balls of standard size, for starters - large, and a thick plastic bat. Start with the throw;the main thing is training.
* First of all, you have to ask your child to show you his scale. Look where he's swinging, and serve it.
* Teach him to stand properly: the real swinger must stand, pushing forward his left foot, slightly touching the ground with his toe. This will teach him to carry the weight of his body forward when he puts his foot on the ground, hitting the ball. In addition, he must stand to you at a right angle, turning his head in your direction. The bat should be above the shoulder, and the elbows should be raised( but at the same time they should be relaxed).
* Let him keep the ball in view all the time. For you, it may seem natural, but your child can look at your face, not on the ball. When the child reaches significant results, you can use the balls "Wiffle" for golf. Then, when you return to the standard Wiffle balls, the task will seem much easier for you.
* When he gets enough confidence, another training should be done: stand behind him and throw the ball over his head so that he falls into the box. So he will learn to concentrate and react quickly. The main thing is to inspire confidence in the child. All children are happy to play baseball, it's only necessary for them to learn the rules of the game.
