Hi all!
My 7-year-old DD is finishing up her L2 season and moving to L3 in a few weeks. She initially started off the L2 season with a mediocre vault--getting in the mid-8s at meets. She ended the season with a 9.3 at States (and state champ in vault-something we never thought we'd see)! Now that they are moving on to L3 vault she is getting frustrated again, not flying as much as her coaches would like. She is strong on all the other events and I hate the vault can bring down her AA. While we are several months from meet season, we were hoping to get much improvement by then. She has a pretty good run but doesn't "fly" as much as her coaches want her to once she hits the springboard. She is light at about 46 lbs however there are a couple other skinny ones who can fly and have great vaults. I'd ask her coaches about a private but not sure a private can help much--it seems it is more strength...? Would short sprints help? Leg conditioning?
