    Backhandspring on beam

    My daughter recently moved up to level 7. She has been having trouble with her backhandspring on beam. She consistantly gets her hands and front foot on the beam, but her back foot goes off to the side on just about every one. How does she get her back foot on the beam?

    Is there hope for an ugly BHS?

    Hi wise coaches:), I am hoping you can shed some light on an issue that my older DD continues to have. She is 9 y.o. and training L5. She has been able to "do" a RO BHS without a spot for about a year and a half. It has never, ever looked pretty (her legs are apart and sometimes bent, the...
