    WAG Similarities between Front Dive Roll and Front Flip Tuck, how is it a progression?

    They always say a Front Dive Roll is a Progression into a Front Flip Tuck. I don't get it. What are the similarities? What parts are alike? I can do a Front Dive Roll, but not a Front Tuck flip yet.

    For Coaches Back Extension Roll to Handstand Troubleshooting

    For Parents Pullover and backwards roll problems

    For Coaches Handstand forward roll on beam?

    Do you have tips how I can maybe land my handstand forward roll on beam? My coach says I should hold the handstand longer, but are there other tips? He hasn't coached this skill before so we are both looking for tips here.

    Handstand forward roll

    How do you teach (or would you teach) a handstand forward roll on beam? I can do it on a line beam. However, I can't quite get it on the normal beam. Any tips?

    MAG Roll out skills

    Coming from the WAG side, I don't see a lot of roll out skills on floor. I've noticed a lot of them in the Olympics in Men's routines. Why are they there? What is their purpose. What do they demonstrate? I'm genuinely curious.

    WAG Back extension roll on beam

    Are two of these connected in a row worth anything? DD has been doing these in combination as well as a handstand back extension roll combo. She does both passes well. She will be competing the backhandspring not in combo with anything. She is training 7. Just curious what these things are worth.
