Does your coach have to not stand there? When I competed level 6 (it sounds like that's your level?) my coach always stood there for the flyaway for all the girls from my gym. After my season I was really comfortable with flyaways and it was easy to go completely by myself. And it's only a deduction if he touches you.

If he wants you to go completely by yourself just remember that it's no different than what you've been doing, and he can probably spot you on some in warm-ups to build your confidence up. Hope this helps!!!

i was completely scared too of flyaways when i was in level 6, in competitions my coach would just stand there but not touch me if she thought i didn't need spot. i believe you don't get a deduction if they just stand by you. now i got over my fear, what really helped me is to think of letting go when i see my toes in my swing

Your coach is allowed to stand their at a meet, just not touch you. I've had them stand there at meets all the time, half the time they want to.

i would have your coach stand there during practice a lot one day and then you won't be as scared.

At my gym there are 2 girls that can't do a flyaway so they do different dismounts. Once you get out of level 6 and into optionals you can learn a different dismount, for example a front flyaway (which one girl does) or a toe on front (which the other does).
