    Coaches Trouble Raising and Lowering Vault Table

    For context I help run my college's club gymnastics team. We are a new team. We have been having difficulties with raising and lowering our vault tables. They are the same ones that the varsity team uses, but we are under the impression that they don't really change the settings often if at all...

    WAG FHS Vault over table

    When I do a FHS vault over the table, sometimes my arms are bent when I land on the table, so my block off isn't as good. How can I fix this and make my post flight better?

    WAG Vault table Level 5 2022 height

    I saw a lot of old posts about minimum vault table height for Level 5 but nothing updated. My daughter is 9, short, super petite. She is now vaulting with a practice squad of girls who are 11+ and is having trouble getting over the table. She says the table is too high and her coach won’t lower...

    WAG Talk to me about Vault Table height

    I'm just curious and trying to learn the mechanics of this. My YDD is a newly minted 9 year old who is definitely on the small side. Her gym tests out of level 4, competes Gold, tests out of 5, and competes 6. Her new vault coach just had her move her front handspring vault from a 105 setting...

    WAG Question about vault table height for Xcel Platinum

    We are debating a whether or not to have my daughter compete Xcel Platinum vs. a second season of JO Level 6 (or maybe 7, but unlikely at this point). Does anyone know if there is a minimum height requirement for the vault table for Xcel Platinum? She likes to vault on a low setting. I don't...

    WAG Deduction for vault table height?

    Just curious what the deduction would be for having the vault table at 110 instead of 115 for Level 5? At this point my daughter's vault is significantly better at 110. She still has time to improve. And I know it is totally up to the coach. Mostly just curious if she might end up with a...

    Parents Vault table fears

    Hi again! Now that Susie* can kip, her next hurdle is that vault table. Going from the level 3 flatback on a mat to the giant table is rough. Did anyone else watch their kids struggle with this? Is it just a time thing? Besides the table she also struggles with punching in general (on the floor...

    WAG SV Level 6/7 for vault table height < 115cm?

    Anyone know what the SV would be if a kiddo vaulted on a table lower than the required minimum? At our last meet I heard many parents commenting that their gyms may try to do this for states for the Yurchenko vaults for some of the teeny Level 6s to at least get them into the mid-8's if...

    WAG Vault Table Fears

    I grew up vaulting on the old horse (not particularly well, admittedly, but basically competent), but that was 20 years ago. I never actually competed as a child and I completely missed the transition from the horse to the table. I'm having a lot of trouble adjusting to the table. It's an issue...

    WAG Vault table settings

    How does the table height affects a FHS vault? I used to naively think that the setting was just based on the vaulter's height, but that doesn't seem to be the only factor. I ask because DD seems to think it's a major accomplishment when she's able to vault on a higher setting, but I don't...

    WAG Recruiting timeline table?

    I have a table that I pulled off chalkbucket a few years ago. Does anyone know where it came from originally? I can't figure out how to post the table here, but it recommended being level 8 by 5th grade, level 9 national qualifier or level 10 by 8th grade, etc

    WAG Ideas for a gift table at state meet.

    Or gym is hosting a state meet in early May. We have been given the go-ahead to plan a table for gymnast gifts/"good luck grams". I'm just looking for some ideas that would sell well and that parents and girls would enjoy. Thanks!!

    WAG approaching judges table after final salute

    I've been watching some you tube videos and noticed that sometimes gymnasts go stand at the judges table after they perform. I never noticed anyone doing that in my daughter's competitions last year (our first year)…they would do their final salute and then just walk back to join their team...

    WAG Vault table fears....update

    Today I talked to DCoach and asked if he could have DD do vault in slo-mo. He smiled and said, 'then I have to hold her and stop her in every section'......I said 'yes, she only weighs 50 lbs'. And we both laughed. He said he was not worried, that there was plenty of time before the summer meet...

    WAG Discussing vault table fears

    DD has been struggling with fear of the vault table. She is small, and vault is her weakest event. She has gone over many times but she needs SUCH a mental wind up to do it. She has not been able to go over for two weeks and DCoach is telling her things like, 'you have to go over to get to the...

    Coaches Tucked preflight of a FHS vault on Table?

    My level 3s are starting to vault on the horse this month. They all have wonderful Level 3 vaults scoring between 9.3 and 9.65. One athlete (9.5 last meet) is vaulting on the table by herself already, and she actually has a pretty good block, but she's tucking on her preflight and then...

    Coaches Vault Table - How do you use it with recreational gymnasts?

    Hi coaches, I can't seem to get the kids (ages 4-8)to do anything but kneel on our vault table. This is just for beginner recreational gymnastics...and I used to love the old style vault, and maybe I just can't get past this new 'table' style. With the traditional vault horse, I could coach...

    Coaches Determining Yurchenko table height

    How do you determine Yurchenko table height for your athletes?

    WAG table height

    I'm curious what the philosophy might be behind having an itty-bitty gymnast, competing level 8, attempt to vault her yerchenko at a 6 off the vault table. This doesn't seem to be the philosophy at our gym. She is really struggling and facing the possibility of not competing it this season...

    WAG Vault Table Question

    Is it normal for a coach to set a requirement setting they want everyone to vault at? At our gym, they want the new 4's (old 5's) to vault on 2. DD can do the vault on 0 at her private lessons. (her coach claims she doesn't touch her and just stands there) She is 4'6 and could probably do the...
