These lessons will occur frequently all through out the Weyrling's training.
A part of this training also involves a game called 'Drums' where messages will be passed from one dragon to another in a manner similar to Broken Telephone.
Ground Drills
Starting off, the Weyrling Master will show the Weyrlings how to begin with basic patterns. First the Weyrlings will be grouped off into threes, and be expected to learn the basic moves while on the ground. Weyrlings will also be taught the signals for move forward, move back, move left and move right.
Once the Weyrlings get used to groups of three, the Weyrling Master will reorganize the Weyrlings in groups of four. As the Turn progresses, they will be reorganized again and again until they are moving as a single Wing.
Air Drills
When the Weyrling's dragons are strong enough to carry them into flight, the Weyrlings will begin the same training they did on the ground. Like before, they will start off in groups of three and slowly increase up until a Sing Wing.
They will also learn the signals for moving up and down in addition to the four they already know.
Weyrlings will also be taught the various maneuvers used by Fighting Wings.
