    WAG Handspring Vault - Chest Up?

    I am seeking drills that 7 year olds can do to correct chest position in handspring vault when jumping on board.They are fast runners and hard jumpers (for the most part) but all seem to lean too far forward on the board. Verbal corrections of "keep your chest up" and "stand up straighter" are...

    WAG Level 5 back handspring pass

    My round off two back handsprings always seems to be better out of a power hurdle than from a run. Are you allowed to compete the routine with a power hurdle? Will they take any deductions?

    Vault handspring VIDEO !!!

    Okay…one of my girls has a pretty good handspring on vault..but she can just not stick it. She has to make a pretty big step which leads in my country to a deduction of at least 0.5 ... Any idea how to get her to stick it ? Usually her first flying phase is better but this video gives an idea...

    Bent right arm on round off back handspring??

    My L4 (YAY!) is having trouble with her ROBHS. She has a decent one on the trampoline but her one on the floor is pretty bad. After an open gym she figured out her problem is she doesn't move her arm from her round off position to her bhs position fast enough having her hand to the side causing...

    Back Tuck on Trampoline (before handspring)

    Hi all, My daughters class has started doing back tuck and forward tuck drills on the trampoline (with a belt). Its the highlight of the day and they just love it! However, they haven't yet learned a back handspring yet. Will learning the back tuck first on trampoline make it harder or...
