Swivel Hips Help

[MoonKid]

I need help thinking of new ideas to help a kid do swivel hips.

One of my gymnasts is really strugling with getting her swivel hips. She's 7 years old but not super tiny. I currently have her doing seat drop 1/2 turn to feet to another immediate seat drop, and she is doing this very well. Whenever I tell her to do exactly what she just did without letting her feet touch she still lands on her feet and sometimes messes up the twisting.

If anyone has any ideas for other drills or something different to say to her that will make it all click, it would be greatly apreciated.

Jump, 1/2 turn to seat drop. Focus that the feet don't go around the side but come from underneath the body.

Big seatdrops to get more time to do things. I try teach the kids what I call a super seat drop for fun. Really, all they do is jump, tuck and extend to the pike position in the air or jump and pike by the peak of the jump. Lot more bounce.

Just have to focus on completing the 1/2 turn before they pike into the second seat drop. It sounds like you are, but they just haven't figure it out yet.
