    WAG What is a salto?

    I hear this term all the time and have always wondered what it is. After looking it up online, I'm more confused than before. Is the salto a specific skill, or can more than one skill be considered a salto? If it is more than one skill, can someone please give me examples of some skills that...

    Coaches back salto head position

    I recently took over a group of poorly trained level 7s (technique was never stressed). Their back saltos are limited to tucks and layouts. They all throw their heads back. I have always found this to be difficult to correct once it's been accepted by another coach, which it was, so I am looking...

    MAG Salto National Invitational

    Our team canceled one of our meets that we were scheduled for, so now we are looking for one to replace it. This one is the one our coach is suggesting for the parents to consider. I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with it?

    Front Salto

    Hi. I'm looking for some new drills to help get the girls to punch up and rotate their hips around their shoulders in the front salto rarther than dropping their shoulders so that the front salto rotates downwards. We don't have a pit, or a tramp or a spotting belt. We have access to a mini...

    two salto pass for Level 8

    My dd now has two choices for her two salto pass for floor for Level 8 - She has RO BHS BLO BT and she has FHS FLO FT. Which is "preferred" and which will score better or be more beneficial long term. Her floor routine from last year had only two passes so if she uses the front pass, then she...

    Salto Vault Progression

    I'm looking for a video on the internet that, if my memory serves me right and often it doesn't, is used by either Britain, Ireland or Austalia as a developmental compulsory vault before what would be the equivalent of USAG Level 8/9 vaulting, but after USAG Level 6. I found this video earlier...

    Coaches Verbal Prompts to help Initiate rotation in a Front Salto

    I filled in for another coach recently and one of the gymnasts was working on front saltos but was iniating rotation by pulling her arms & head down. I talked to her about rotating her hips over her head rather than bringing her head under her hips. I talked about leg/heel lift etc. Either...

    Coaches Technique Discussion: Arm Circles on Front Salto (floor exercise)

    The level 5 men's vault is a front tuck (no vault table) off a spring board with an arms circle that ends below shoulder height. How does this relate to a front tuck on floor? While I do not teach an arm circle for a front tuck on floor I have seen some gyms that do. What are the advantages...
