    Crooked Back Handspring

    Maybe this has already been discussed, but I can't find a way to do a specific search in the forums (??). My daughter has a pretty nice back handspring, except that lately she is always going crooked on it. Are there any drills or suggestions to help her straighten it out? :confused: Thanks!

    Learning BHS....

    I can do spotted sbhs and robhs but I keep making them too short and I can't practice them on the tumble-track because I jump straight up instead of back...I almost land on my head. On the floor I always jump back and somehow end up doing it in place (I usually land on my coach’s foot!) Should...

    Hand placement on beam - BHS and BWO

    I have pretty much always seen the BWO done with the 'thumbs together, fingers round placement. And the BHS done with one hand behind the other. In coaching girls age 6-8, their coach is telling them to do the BWO with the BHS placement. Why might this be? Is it to get them used to it? Also...

    Coaches RO BHS Rebound Opinions

    I can't find any past banter regarding rebound expectations for compulsory level gymnasts. I have a bit of an opinion difference between my coaching comrade in the gym. I feel that an arm circle in the rebound (mostly for after BHS, but similar if the RO rebound is for more of a set action)...
