Fhs has front entry over vault and lands on feet on landing mat(well below vault height, dependent on vault setting). Front timer would front entry over vault and land on feet on a mat stack at or above the level of the vault.Ok what's the "front timer".
And how is that different if at all from just a yurchenko, suk or fhs

Exactly! It trains the gymnast to get the block necessary to eventually add the flip off the vault. USAG is hoping having the gymnasts compete timers at level 7 will force the coaches to get more of the training time in necessary to make the gymnasts safer and more successful when they eventually add the flip, rather than spending that practice time further perfecting the FHS to win level 7 competitions.Sounds like the same vault setup that my dd had for Xcel silver, only much more difficult as you would have to land on your feet and not in a flat back.
Yep, that's about when it should start.my daughter, scoring out of 5 to 6 is doing suk drills
This sounds like a great idea!!Exactly! It trains the gymnast to get the block necessary to eventually add the flip off the vault.

I think as with most things there is a learning curve. Both on the judging side and the expectation side. Soon to be revealed.i wonder how consistent judging is when changes like this are made.
Sadly, my daughter who is going to compete 7 hasn't even done a yurchenko drill bc they are spending all their vault time perfecting that handspring vault.Yep, that's about when it should start.
That is sad! Even my L4 has done timers. (I think for tsuks though?) Obviously that is not their main focus at all, but at least it keeps them interested and sets the stage. But I bet your DD's FHS vault is amazing!Sadly, my daughter who is going to compete 7 hasn't even done a yurchenko drill bc they are spending all their vault time perfecting that handspring vault.
