Hi,
wondering if anyone has some great ideas to help the younger gymnasts with getting the idea of leaning back on the beatboard then driving their heels.
I have broken the vault down and the get the leaning back on the beatboard, and they get the heel drive, but when you join it to gether its a completely different story.
The stretch jump is fine, but as soon as you add rotation into it they think you have to lean forward to go over.
Is there any ideas on explaining this to 7 & 8 yr olds.
I have done mini tramp work with them for heel drives, jumping off spotting block and doing handstand flatback, adding mats on top, lots of beatboard work... the drills are endless.
Thanks
