Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a deduction for landing your tuck with your feet apart (less than hip width). My daughter has had knee problems all year and we are trying to find a solution. I have read that landing with your feet this way will not cause a deduction. I really don't want her to continue to have pain.

Thanks!
R

If it prevents pain, the deductions almost don’t matter- they wouldn’t be enough to be worth her having pain, right?

Absolutely! I was just wondering if it was incorrect form and she should be working on getting her legs together WITHOUT pain.Obviously not having pain is the most important thing. Thanks for you input.

I don't think so - as long as it is less than hip width. Plus, deductions are better than pain.

I believe hip width, and then sliding to feet together is not a deduction

THANKS! She has been doing that and her knees have gotten relief! Yay!
