Need Your Help!! Advice On "conditioning During Practice"

Extra conditioning for talking or not paying attention seems fair & can help refocus kids. If strength for stunts is an issue, conditioning could be done at end of practice.
I disagree with giving laps/pushups for dropped stunts. Sometimes only the bases have to do it, but a stunt is a team effort. To protect the flyer & help the stunt group, it seems better to me to have team together including flyer problem-solve what went wrong. Direct their physical efforts into hitting the stunt x number of times.
 
Kind of off topic, but I really wished there was a new word for "conditioning". Every time our coaches say "okay, time for conditioning" everyone groans and complains and tries to get out of it.

Maybe if we started calling it something like " time for 'project get amazing abs for summer' " and not only using the conditioning exercises (i.e. plank and burpees) as a punishment but as a positive thing to look better, feel better & hit the routine more easily then people would be more into it... or maybe that's just how my mind works
 
Dropped stunt equals push ups and talking/not listening equals laps and this is for an AYC team.

I coach a mini level 1 team and a youth level 2 team and we start out practice by running for five minutes, and if too many girls are walking we do it again at the end of practice. We end every practice with 15 minutes of conditioning consisting of lunges, sprints or suicides, 25 sit ups, 25 supermans, 15 explosion jumps, line hops, ect. We condition during practice for lack of focus, if girls are tumbling or pulling body positions when they are supposed to be standing clean in their spots, if stunts aren't hitting, and if there is a lot of chatter. It's usually 2 laps per offense.

That is a good idea. I like that. :)
