I have a WAG level 10 gymnast with good basics. We are currently training a hop full for next years bar routine. She is spotted on the tramp bar with the following progressions:

Back drop, hop with no grip change to handstand. Back drop, hop 1/2 to mixed grip. Back drop, hop 1/2 to 1 arm, 1/2 turn out. Back drop, hop 1/1.

On a single rail she is working back giant with a bounce and is ready to add a hop with no turn or grip change like the tramp drills.

So on to my question. What are some of the common mistakes when teaching this skill? I have a year or two, so I'm in no rush to screw this up.

Any help is appreciated.
 
A Quast?

I prefer the the one hand grab as opposed to the "flying full grab back on with two hands". I think the one hand is easier and deducted less. The first video is the one I like...the second technique I do not like. Just my opinion in techniques though. As far as drills...get her to bounce 3 times after the giant...not one.

the first one would not be given credit in womens. the 2nd yes, but with execution that may devalue the element.

Women's gymnastics is such a pain.
