WAG Back handspring progression help needed!

[ThatOneGymnastOverThere]

Over the last few weeks, I've finally gotten my back handspring on the low beam with a beam-thickening mat on. The mat makes the beam around 6-inches thick and is soft.

Now that I have my back handspring somewhat on the beam, I'm unsure where I should go from here. When I put panel mats on the sides of the beam, my hands always miss the beam, and there's no sign of them getting closer, no matter how many times I do it, or how hard I try.

What should I do now? What steps should I take to get my back handspring on the high beam? My season is in a month!

Thanks in advance

What do your coaches say.

My coaches haven't said very much, only things like, "keep working at it," or "it takes time."

What level will you compete?

I will be competing level 6 in the winter season (very soon!!)

I would like to get this skill as quickly as possible.

So your coaches do not watch you and give you corrections?

You don't need it for level 6. it is just one option for beam acro at level 6. I too am confused that your coaches are not giving you more direction on learning the skill though.
