Coaches long hang pullover

[catou]

Hi everyone!

I coach a group of CR2 gymnasts (For those who aren't coming from Quebec, I'd say it's about between level 3 and 4 in the us depending of the apparatus). So they did really well this year in competitions so the objective for me is to have them competing cr3 next year, and for that they need to have all their skills by the end of the summer.

One of the skills that is causing problem is long hang pullover. Their tap swing have gotten much better, and I'm looking for drills so they can get on top of that high bar

I have 8 gymnasts, only 2 bar sets and a floor bar, and only 2 30 minutes periods a week of bars.

Here are some old threads on this skill, full of tips and even videos.

Remember that is the US the baby giant is a more advanced skill than in Quebec Girls in the US do not use the high bar until they are at least our P2 level and have their bascule.
