Ok, i have a problem! My 11-13 year old recreational gymnasts need to learn a tucked backaway (flyaway) very shortly in order to be able to enter their next competition. They have all done the 'dead cow' preparation into our pit, but when told do perform the full backaway they forget to let go, pull their knees in and land dangerously close to the bar, i know what the problem is, i just cannot fix it. The girls i coach are nearly the same height as me, and i am not physically strong enough or tall enough to carry them through the move safely, i cannot ask the other coaches, as they would simply not have the time to come over and support the girls. I was wondering if anyone has any drills in which i wouldnt have to handle the girls much, we are kind of stuck at the moment, and they cannot progress further safely without a different preparation, can anyone help?
