Hi,
So I've been working on cartwheels with my development gymnasts (6-7 year olds who recently upped their training to 5 hours a week) and noticed that whilst they have straight legs, finish in a lunge etc they're not perfect- some of them are slightly piked, some arched and some are slightly off with their hand placement. I was planning on getting them to do cartwheels against the wall to try and correct their alignment but also came across Gymneo's Cartwheel drills video . There's loads of great drills and I plan on using some but I was wondering which drills do you think would be most useful/transferable? Some of the drills seem to be very isolated so I wonder how well they'd transfer when doing a full cartwheel? Any thoughts? (or any other drills that might be useful?)
