Hi All,
Wondering if any of you have some great drills for me please?
My little girls, a group of 6 - 8 year olds, have a competition at the end of November. There is an option of 2 vaults, 1st being pike on, handspring off, the 2nd is full handspring to stand, both set at 110cm, can use 2 springboards or a trampette.
I'm just finding that the girls are so small that they can't get their hands in the right position on the table. So as a result if they are doing the full thing unsupported, they're gonna crack their backs off it.
There are 2 of the kids, who no doubt can do it but can tend to be a bit inconsistent.
Does anyone have any drills for me to work on for heel drive in the first flight and the push on the second flight.
We had a coaches night a couple of weeks ago, as one of my fellow coaches bought the Coach Steve dvd's, and we got some tips from it but the girls are too small to be able to get up to handstand to do the handstant hops from the vaulting table to a pile of crash mats, although fast enough to go through handstand
Apologies for the ramble!
Thanks
Jamie
