leap

How to make them not look like a see-saw? They don't get the idea of splitting hard in the middle. Need drills and new ways to explain it.

My daughter competed this in her floor routine for almost her entire level 7 season. At the end of the season we were told that this is possibly a C skill and should not have be allowed in her routine...I'm not sure if I'm describing it correctly but thats what my daughter calls it. Anyone know...

I'm a level 5 and am struggling with getting my leaps on beam to be big. I have a great leap on floor and a full split, but when I move it to a beam it is the tiniest leap ever. My coaches told me that I keep going up instead of splitting my legs, but it just doesnt seem to get better. Any tips...

One of my daughters is doing level 4 this year, but is having really bad leap fears. She will do them good on a low beam but once she goes on a high beam her leap has almost no air time. It is hard to explain but she basicall steps and slides that foot back and replaces it with the other one...

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Leap Day!!!:jump:

is a switch leap to 2 feet a skill? we could not find it in the code of points.

For balance beam, are switch leaps and straddle jumps allowable C skills?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone could give me advise about switch leaps on beam. I need this skill to compete the next level and its not progressing as I hoped it would. I do them on both the low and the high beam with the pad/beam extender and I have no problem with them. Only when I...

What is the deduction for not hitting a 180° leap? Probably at 165° is where she is at.

Hi All, Haven't posted in a while, hope you are all well. I'm just wondering does anyone have some good tips or drills for getting the back leg / foot up in split leaps & split changes. Some of the girls are flexible and some have worked hard at theirs but none of them can get the back leg...

I was looking over the optional requirements the other day and wondered, if a routine includes a 180° split jump is a leap still required? My question for the turn is, can a 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 turn be used at level 7?

does it matter how much split the leap has in level 3? because our girls are little and we cant seem to get them to split very much and at meets most other gyms are just about or they are 180 split, but it doesnt seem to affect their score. if they do need to be 180 or a little below, are there...

I am a level 7 gymnast, and I would like to know what I could connect to a split leap to fullfill all requirements. (another leap) This is for beam, and I would like to try connecting a "C" to it to get the bonus. My coach has had us working on split leap sisson (sp?) but I don't like this leap...

My back leg turns out really bad in split leaps and in switch leaps. I don't know how to fix it! It is hard for me to turn my back knee under in a split, also. My coach has me do splits on the beam, but I still can't fix it when I am in the air. I can't snap my legs into the split, and my...

When I do my leaps, I get looks like I'm doing it all wrong. My coaches say I'm still doing it as if I'm going through the front door, and it's too much of a flowy motion that goes forward too much. I try to keep my chest up and body straight but it doesn't seem to be changing what my...
