What could a coach be trying to teach a child if they had them:
1. Cast
2. Return to front support
3. Lean forward
4. Back up to front support.
5. Repeat
The child is my six year old in a developmental program. The program is almost exclusively focused on developing strength and flexibility since the gym's philosphy is that early training should focus on these and the skills will follow. My daughter's group has been on bars maybe twice in the past month. When we came to the gym five months ago, ZZ could do a chin-up pullover, three pretty good casts and a back hip circle all by herself on a regular bar set. Not sure if she can any of that anymore. And, of the eight girls in her group she was the only one who followed the above scenario. The rest did chin up pullover followed by casts and in a couple of cases back hip circles.
I was a gymnast and my older dd was a level 10 and I can't say I've ever seen this drill? She said it was "boring" and didn't know why she was doing it.
Thanks for your help.
