So... What Comes Next?

[Brandon]

I'm currently working on my double back, double twist, and arabian double on floor. On vault I've got a handspring front and layout tsuk.

I'm wondering what 'comes next' as far as skill progression. I don't compete and my coach is extremely conservative as far as learning new things, but I'm curious as to what people learn after this. Coaches, what would you teach next? full in for floor? kaz for vault?

Gymnasts, what did you learn at this level?

Thanks!

(P.S Not related to the above, but does anyone know what the 'requirements' would be for a male gymnast to walk on to a college team? I know nothing is set in stone but what should te 'average' male vault/floor specialist need to be able to do to walk on to a team?

Thanks for the reply.
I'm thinking about going to an open gym at this local place that's known for letting people do whatever they want... Id like to try stuff in the pits that I wouldn't normally be allowed to do at my gym, but I don't know where to start, lol.

Vault- yurchenkos, maybe twisting your tsuk or handspring front layout(to progress to twists?
As for floor maybe full twisting double backs. You could also start working 1 1/2 twist to step out into double twist... Most girls at the Olympics were doing that into 2 1/2 or 3 twists
