My daughter has been doing great in every other area except vault. I would love to know of some home exercises she could work on to help. The coach says her run and jump are fine. She also has a great handstand flat back. She seems to have a problem getting her butt up over her head sometimes and when she does she seems to tuck her legs under her instead of behind her. I don't know much about gymnastics but she is supposed to be vaulting into a handstand flat back. She is short and her bottom half is solid and heavy so I don't know if that's part of the problem or not. She can always do more reps than the other girls when it comes to leg exercises but clearly there is an area where she must need more conditioning to get this. Any help would be appreciated since vault is killing her AA score. Her gym doesn't seem to do a lot of build up to a skill they just have you go for it. I kind of feel if it could be broken down into different skills then she could figure out what part is the problem for her.
