For some reason this is the first time I've ever had a kid with this problem. Last year she could barely get over the vault, and now she's absolutely blossomed on everything, which is great!! She's a tiny little thing but she runs like a beast and literally front layouts over the vault. She...

I have a one girl (level 5 last year, moving up to level 6 5 this year) who consistently comes in too high on the entry to her front handsprings and roundoffs; she has too much air time between the feet coming off the floor and the hands touching down (ie "diving"). Any drills or other...

I just can't seem to land my front handspring - front tuck - front tuck on floor. I don't have a video but I'm looking for any advice from coaches. I have a high and powerful first front tuck then zero height on the second one, resulting in a super low and crouched landing or straight to my...

My level 5s are decent vaulters. They score mid-high 8s and consistently place within the top 5, sometimes winning, so I know we're doing ok. But their vaults (specifically their block and post-flight) are much better with mats behind the table going to their backs than when they have to land...

My Level 5s need HELP!!! I "inherited" girls who were never taught a correct FHS vault, and now have been doing them incorrectly for 3 or 4 YEARS. Their main problem is that they pike terribly getting onto the vault and are too slow off. I have had them try to get their feet in front on the...

Can girls who are relatively weak on a FHS vault be successful in levels 8+ vaults. This past season was dd's first FHS vt season (platinum xcel). She scored mid 8's mostly but was usually in the lower half of the division for medaling. Very pike-y on pre and post table. So-So blocking and not...

Today at camp, my favorite coach was spotting me on FHS vault and then one of the times he looked like he was going to spot me but he pulled away right when I got to the vault and I vaulted!!! BY MYSELF!!! :D I mean I've done handstand-flatbacks by myself all the time but those aren't over a...

My little one is all over her RO BHS, hitting it well enough to be working on form corrections already. She nailed her font hip circle on her first try and keeps hitting it. I was honestly nervous to see if she would be able to transition from Level 3 to Level 4 by fall. It looks like it will...

I have a gymnast who is double popping on vault. She had a great HS flat back last year. We have a prota-vault that goes into our pit and she doesn't do it on there. Once she gets to the table it's like she double pops and she almost get stuck in her HS. Any tips or advice on this situation I've...

I have been working on trying to put a tumble pass together, and I'm not that experienced in doing so. For the FHS and front layout individually, I do fine, but it seems impossible to connect them together into a pass, on the tumble track or the floor. Is ther any good advice on that, or...

I am wondering if there are any conditioning exercises that my dd could do on her own to help her with keeping straight arms and not arching so much on her FHS vault. She tends to arch and while I haven't noticed it, her coach said she sometimes bends her arms as well. She has a fast run, but...

I have a few girls that are really struggling with keeping straight legs when they are landing/pushing out of the first (step out) front handspring in the level 6 pass and going into the second one (2 foot)....Any suggestions?

Hello, I am a coach in Canada. Coaching with a recreational program. I am currently coaching a teen recreational program and they are mostly all beginners. I just wanted to know if someone can tell me some drills for: Front hand springs Back hand springs I am good with teaching younger children...

About a month ago, I got my FHS FT on floor. But i have always taken forever to go...meaning i will just stand their swaying back and forth for a few minutes, and then i will go. And last week, I started throwing FHS Front Pikes. But at the last 3 practices, I wouldn't even do a FHS Front...

When DD practices her FHS at gym, she often complains about her lower back hurting on the landings. Is this a positioning error?, or does she need more lower back strength? Or both? Any tips?

I want to learn a fhs full vault for next season. Right now, my coaches are having me do fhs half vaults. However, I start twisting before my hands leave the table which, even without the coach's clarification, I know is wrong. I know logically when to twist and what to do, but the vault...

What am I doing wrong on the FHS vault (pretty sure it has to do with the preflight)... When I vault, it feels like I go really high during the preflight, but by the time I contact the vault, it feels like I don't block as high as I used to. My mom noticed that my block seems more longer than...
