    Parents Purpose of backward roll to pushup?

    That is so helpful — thank you!! It definitely had not occurred to me that a skill would directly cross over from one event to the other like that. :)

    Parents Purpose of backward roll to pushup?

    My 6yo L1 daughter is currently working with her team on the skill backward roll to pushup position. I've noticed this skill is trickier for her than some others, and I was just curious what the purpose of this skill is? Being a parent with no gymnastics experience myself, there are other...

    Parents Videos of current DP compulsory routines?
