Today in level 8 and up it is with a lower than 10.0 valueI thought I read on the board somewhere that L7 vault will be changing in 2018 (to include some kind of timer?) Anyone know for sure? Will FHS still be an option?
Funny you say this....I was just thinking about that the other day- we have a girl who does the FHS front and the entry looks NOTHING like a front handspring vault....She is arched and snaps off into the FT....she scores very high with this vault.Personally I think it's going to be a disaster unless they set concrete guide lines for judges.... Just look what happened to the handspring (which is a timer for a Handspring front). If you actually do a handspring correctly with the anticipation of doing a hand front, it gets beat by the high pretty hand spring. So I fear the judging community will again take it upon themselves to judge the entries by a certain criteria that will limit or even hinder actual development of a proper L8 vault.... Holding my breath.....
Something like this...I'm not sure if they have said whether it will be to your back on stacked mats or to your feet on stacked mats??

should come in low and have a shoulder angle on entry with slight pike in hips, or a shoulder angle with arch. Depends on the technique. But the vaults that score the highest, come in high with totally open shoulders (body completely straight). to be fair I will use my own kids, Here is Kenni, Hips slightly piked, with a shoulder angle,Interesting - that's the first I have heard it put that way, and that makes sense. I'm curious, what is a FHS vault supposed to look like, if it is performed in a manner optimized as a HF timer? What would look different, ideally, than the "big, pretty" FHS vault starting in JO L4?
Great vault - but not as a level 7
CoachP - love your kids forward entry vaults - has your choice to teach kids who have the ability to do different vaults paid off in the recruiting process with the NCAA changes?
Yes , keni is going to UCLA and Ellie was verbally committed to a full ride at Washington as a freshman.
No the majority of our girls do yurchenko entries, partially due to the ranch pushing them. But I prefer the other entries and wish at this point that I had stuck to them a bit more.... here is Ashton, She hasn't competed it yet so we will see if she gets it competition ready or not. pretty cool vault though.do all the girls at Azarian do this entry or do some of your athletes do Yurchenko entries? At all the level 10 meets we've been to this year, the vast majority of 10s are doing layout Yurchenko or Yurchenko fulls with maybe few girls doing 1 1/2 and DTY... will we see more variations at regionals and nationals?
