and if you're a coach, you know that is not a lay out step out. or you should know. it's a 2 foot landing. landing 1 foot at her age would be catastrophic if a mistake were made.
i don't consider how cute it is. i'm speechless now...
bad idea....the degradation begins once ballistic elements are introduced to a hard surface. this includes those forces that reverberate back in to the body from the spring floor.
She seems like a fearless gymnast!
Just curious - Would this be considered a layout (regardless of the step-out)? She drops right where she flips. I thought in layouts, you had to travel beyond the the initial point of the flip. To me - it looks more like an open back tuck. not trying to offend - just trying to learn.
Yes but in order to have her double twist* by age seven children should be doing these skills before they hit age six. Gymnastics is not about long term development it is more important to be able to do as many tricks as soon as possible!
*1 1/4 plus 3/4 on the mat (do you remember that one?)
And this is just rude. I definitely don't appreciate your sarcasm. As I said in the previous post, Cameron works all Level 4, some 5 skills. She will be 6 in January. We are not looking to create a sloppy, choppy gymnast that can just throw ugly big skills. Our focus is primarily on solid technique. She might work these with her coach on the side a few spare minutes a week after now, in order to ensure that she does the skill technically correct, but her training is not focused on "chucking" skills.
[/QUOTE]So I have a question... if my daughter had just gotten her first round-off BH and I posted it proudly would it be under attack? If she was doing basically a flop onto her head with bent arms and cowboying it the whole way, as so many people post, would it bother you? I did not say she mastered the skill. I did not intend to falsely advertise a layout step-out by a 5 year old. Until 1/21 she will be five. And she had already done three when I had a chance to video. You can see from her run and hurdle she was getting tired, as this was at the end of a three hour practice.
