Rec Coach
Hi, I've been reading this site a lot for the past couple months...love all the advice!
I need some suggestions regarding handstands.
We are a small rec club and our 'advanced' group is probably around the US level4/5 skill wise (front/back handsprings, beginning tucks, whips). The frustration we have is that none of the girls can hold a handstand for more than a couple seconds. They have beautiful tight body handstands but they just can't seem to stay balanced. We only train a couple hours a week and we do some handstand work every week but they don't seem to be getting any better. We often do incurve hold, tight body lifts, handstand against wall and just plain handstands...any other suggestions for practicing balancing??? (We don't have much equipment as we're in a school gym)
