My 7 year old daughter will compete this winter for the first time as a level 4. She has been training for about 9 months. She has had her round off backhandspring for many months, but is still bending her legs a bit on the bankhandspring. Her coach insists on no practice (no robhs) outside...

Hi Please could somebody explain what shape we should be aiming for during the second flight of the BHS ie snapping down from hands back onto feet.I have only done a basic coaching course and I think they said to tell gymnasts to think of chest snapping up as much as legs snapping down and keep...

I've had it for the past year, but a cheerleader tripped me up when I did it so I was scared to do it by myself. Well I went to a gymnastics camp and got it back, with no spot. I've been doing it for three days now. Yesterday, (the camp ended yesterday) and I messed up on it. So I came home and...

I had my backhandspring last summer because I was the only one who signed up for the summer class. So, I basically got private lessons. But now, I can't get it. We do backhandsprings every day, but I can't do them! I'm not scared. But every time, everything goes wrong. My legs split wide open...

So on beam I'm working on a backhandspring stepout but i can never do them. Why? Well I don't have elbow problems but they seem to collapse in or out when ever i do standing backhandsprings. This dosn't happen when i do round-off backhandsprings though. In a standing backhandspring do you make...

According to my daughter, her coach spots backhandspring on beam differently depending on the gymnast. Hence, the backhandspring performed by the gymnasts in her gym differs slghtly. The first half is uniform, jumping backward etc. The last segment and/or coming out of a backhandspring is...

I thought I posted this earlier, so if it's a duplicate, just ignore! What is the "correct" way to teach this skill? I was just wondering because I've seen girls perform it with one hand over the other, and others place their hands side by side. It seems to me that the girls who have one hand...
