I am a coach for beginner level 4s and they are currently learning back handspring. When i was a gymnast ever coach I had told me to land with my arms by my ears after both round-off and back handspring. A new coach comes in and says that they must land with their arms in front of them. Now all my gymn is arguing about position of arms. My question is that does it really matter where they arms arm? as long as there is a nice shape it should matter right.
Fellow coaches i need your help!!
