Sounds interesting! Could you please share it with me?

Learn how to front layout if you haven't already - it is really effective for developing FHS to pad up the vault table (drape a 8" or 4" over it, landing mats on the other side) and practice front tucking over the whole table and building up to a front layout over the table. A common...

We have two bronze groups - one that trains twice a week for ~3 hours /week and another that trains 3 times a week for ~5.5 hours /week - we started the groups 5 months ago and it is going great.

I was homeschooled, so I didn't go to school like that. I did go everywhere else like that, though.

Looks pretty good - she is not making any large mistakes. seems to me like she just needs some time to get the rhythm. any day now :)

Tsuk tuck 1/2 is a 10.0 start in Lv.9 - Pike isn't listed. Never seen one before.. tuck seems way more feasible.

The last time I did any vaulting or tumbling, I liked the ezy wraps. I also used to use them for handstand holds but go without them now. I coached a gymnast with degenerative arthritis in her hand - the ezy wraps didn't solve all her problems but she much preferred them over tiger paws. They...

I am coaching an 8 year old gymnast (xcel bronze) who has super flexible shoulders - they can interlace their fingers and dislocate back and forth comfortably and they do it all the time for fun. Their back flexibility is great too - back bend front limber and walkovers both ways with good form...

I think the ro needs to turn over more and land higher so they can punch more and jump less. RO up to panel and RO rebound back into a cheese mat against a wall are my simple favorites.

Back 1.5 and double full tucked or stretched are C's, double back is a D.

If you have sufficient speed coming in, you really don't need to throw your head to flip, it'll just flip - my guess (take with a grain of salt) is she has some mistakes on the approach that are costing her speed, and throwing the head is a way to get back some of that lost speed... but throwing...

she could try practicing pushing up into a bridge and walking around to build comfort and coordination in the position. practice kicking to a wall handstand and alternating between flex feet and pointed feet... the technique is simple - point your toes in the handstand, flex your feet as they...

Amazing! Congratulations!

Never taught or practiced either - but my understanding is: chinese tap: piking through the top of the giant to speed up for a dismount or big release. Tkatchev tap: horizontal arch so the resulting tap loads the bar down/forward to help launch the tkatchev up/past the bar. It seems like high...

We have an early class and a later class for preteam - we canceled the later one for trick or treating but still ran the earlier one - 2/10 showed up. lots of tramp time :D
