I am trying to understand the rationale for the setting of the vault table in training front handspring vaults at Level 5. The coaches seem to set it higher than the girls can get over, forcing them to either: 1) not make it over the table at all, 2) take steps or hops with their hands to make or over, or 3) bend their legs completely to be able to make it over. The coach adjusts the table for different girls so that this happens with ALL of them, no matter how well they vault over lower settings.
I am hoping a coach can explain the reasoning behind this to me. I am confused. As a non-coach, it would make more sense to me to have them perfect the vault at a lower setting and get a feel for doing it RIGHT and then start moving the table higher. Instead, these girls do an entire vault training session never making it over the vault (or only with very poor form).
I am sure there must be a reason for doing this. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks.
