front handspring

Is there different criteria for judging and scoring the front handspring vault based in the level where it is competed? Meaning, if a gymnast competes her vault, will this exact same vault receive a different score based in whether she is a level 4, 5, 6, or 7 (I believe all have a 10.0 start...

I have a gymnnast who keeps having the hollow body position out of the front layout. This will make it hard to connect it to anything in the future. I have tried to get her to correct to an arch but she is still hollowing out. Are there any drills anyone can suggest?

My girls are 5 and were doing something today...the coach told me it was a front handspring step out or a running front walkover if I recall? Can someone tell me the difference between that and a regular front handspring...is it just that you land with 2 feet with front handspring? Which is a...

Yesterday at practice I got my FHS on floor!!!!! I'm so happy! I got it on the tumbl trak about a month ago, so yesterday, I asked my coach if I could try on floor. The first one that I did, I landed down kinda like in a sqatting postion, then after landing like that a few more times, I finally...

Okay, I need help! I am a level 5/6 gymnast and i went to do a front handspring a few days ago and I cant! I have had my front handspring for years and I cant do it at all anymore! I put my hands down then just twist out of it like a cartwheel or round-off. Help Me PLEASE!!!!

DD and her team are beginning FHS vaults. DD says last night at practice, they were all doing front handsprings over a pit turned sideways with a panel mat on top. DD made it over but landed on her heels, then fell on her behind. She said this happened 95% of the time. The one time she didn't...

So uptraining has begun and I have know idea where some of the drills lead to or if that is what the skill is. She's training level 7 stuff and my scant knowledge of these skills is showing. So where if anywhere does a front hand spring bounder bounder go? It looks pretty cool that might be...

We have a gymnast who has beautiful tumbling all around but when she goes to do her front handspring layout there is a huge lack of lift, she seems to be piking just slightly. My issue is, in terms of twisting in the future, what is the modern perspective on the easiest way to twist a front lay...

How can you properly execute a front handspring? My coaches have called over other coaches and they all tried to explain to me what to do and how to do it. I just can't snap up! I land in a squatted position with one leg in front of the other, they come down almost at the same time. Any tips...

Hi! I recently started coaching a group of level D girls. They have one other coach too but we never coach together. Girls have been doing front handsprings for years. Others can do them correctly but one of the girls came to me yesterday and said she struggled with them at last practice with...

Hey everyone! before I start I just want to say thanks for giving me advice on previous problems. I have actually improved (: So my team and I are doing handsprings on vault (most of us have them, including me). I just want to fix it up. I want to reach my hands out farther. On the table...

Most of the time, when i do a handstand, i go into a front handspring. I dont know why, but my muscles are so used to doing a front handspring. How can i stop myself from doing a front handspring?

Quite a while ago there was a post about using the back leg to push in a front handspring and some good drills that went with it. Trying to find that info. Thanks.

My method for teaching front handsprings has been to just let the kids try them and then correct. Probably not the best way. With my new group of training 5's, I would like to break it down. What are some good front handspring drills? Especially to correct ducking the head forward when landing.

I'm just really curious about something after watching some kids do their front handspring full vault. I guess it also applies to 1/2 on 1/2 off, 1/2 on 1/1 off and so on. Is this actually a useful progression? I originally thought it would be good for twisting the front handspring front but...

I have a gymnast, teenage level 7, not the fastest but strong enough, good form and technique. She tumbles well on the trak, average on the floor. FHSFT on the trak is huge, she responds well to the slower bounce of the trak. On the floor she can FHS rebound tight and tall and moving forward...

Last week was my first day back after a LOOOOOOOOOONG break, and I did terribly. I couldn't even walk on the beam without falling off! But this week I was almost back to where I had left off last session. I got all my skills back, and some even better than before. But I am having trouble on...

I'm trying to get my front handspring but I always land in a squat! I don't know what I'm doing wrong, is my back not arched enough? Please help !! Thank-you :) P.S. This is a video so you can see how terrible they are: Front Handsprings ! - YouTube

When my dd does her front handspring she takes like an extra step instead of just sticking it. She says she just has too much power. Her coach hasn't really said anything on how she should fix this, any ideas?

I'm working front handspring on vault but keep landing with my hands apart (one infront of the other) or when I land with them in line I walk them so that they go apart. I don't know why I do it. Is there any drills that could help me break this habit? thanks.
