While working on floor tonght, DD's (age 6, pre-team) coach had the girls do a backbend, then, instead of kicking over one leg at a time they used their core to pull both legs up and over at the same time (looks like it should be physically impossible to me :)). I was pretty impressed when DD did it by herself right after the coach helped her with the first one. Anyway, what is this called (is it a double leg kickover?) and what is it preparing the kids for? Since there was no momentum associated with it like with a BHS it looked rather strange.
 
Oh, that's what a limber is!!! I've heard that term before but never knew what it was. This fourm is so helpful. Thanks!
