It's almost the end of our competition season and I am looking forward to continuing to work on some new skills with the gymnasts.
The main skill I'm looking for drills for is the tucked tsuk.
I have 3, possibly 4 gymnasts who could really do with learning this. They all have good half ons and can all half on over a 1m platform to land on their backs into the pit with nice straight/hollow bodies. I'm planning on stacking up mats to the same height from tomorrow onwards so that they really HAVE to block off the top.
3 of the girls have done lots of tsuks with support but as soon as I step away, all just go back to landing on their back
Are there any really good conditioning exercises I can get them to do whilst they wait for their turns?
We also do half on tuck back off the 1m platform turned around lengthways - Ideally I need to get them doing this on 120cm as that is the height the vault will need to be, but I wanted to start lower!
Are there any other drills I can have them doing?
Thanks in advance!
