    Coaches drills for front tuck half

    Some of the recreational girls I coach want to begin learning front tuck halves, however, I have no idea how to go about teaching them the twist. Any drills or advice would be appreciated.

    WAG Coaching Exam! Help!

    One thing I would say is have a really good look through the logbook, there should be at least a few drills for everything on your list. For backwalkovers you could have the gymnasts kick up into handstand then slowly split their legs to get the balance aspect sorted (if that makes sense). A...

    New Compulsory Grades!

    What is the benefit of the level 4 vault being a straight front onto block? Unless I'm being really dense I can't understand what it is a progression for.

    WAG Need help- drills for coaching exam

    So I've got my coaching exam coming up next week and I've got a basic idea of what I'm going to do, but I need a few more ideas for drills for some of the skills. For 'arm pulling strength' all I have is 5X chin ups in overgrasp and 5X chin ups in undergrasp, but obviously that won't take up...

    Novice Competition Meet Report

    I had my first comp at the weekend and I had no idea it would be so long!! I was there for 6 hours :eek:! First up was vault. My first one was a bit iffy but I stuck the landing on the 2nd one- score of 10.350 and 15 place on vault. Over to bars, I wasn't sure I was even going to compete bars...

    Novice Competiton

    I've been picked to take part in a novice competition at the end of April, i think there are only 2 other girls from the recreational side taking part and the rest are from the comp squad. You only have to do 3 pieces so i won't be doing bars. I'm really excited so wish me luck :D

    Over rotating in roundoff tuck back

    pattymello: We aren't allowed to video at the gym so i can't get any videos of it. What I meant by over rotate was that I do almost like 1 1/2 somersaults to land on my back and roll backwards out of it if that makes sense! dunno: I think my eyes were open lol :)

    Over rotating in roundoff tuck back

    I've been doing round off tuck backs off an air floor onto a covered pit and had been landing the first few reasonably well, but last week I over rotated all the time and I can't work out why. :confused: Should I be slowing the rotation down or 'kicking out' of the somersault to land??

    handsprings and tuck backs

    I had a really awesome practice today. I did a handspring over the vault by myself for the first time and it was actually better than the spotted ones! I also did a spotted roundoff tuckback for the first time as well. :D

    Rescuing a leotard :(

    Is there any way to get stains out of a leotard? The leo has got a silver top part surrounded by pink piping and the pick has bled into the silver in giant splotches after being washed :( Is there anyway to get the pink out?
