    Cartwheels on Beam

    I'm starting cartwheels on beam. I usually land my first foot RIGHT next to the beam, and very rarely, I land the first foot on the beam but not the second one. How do I get the first foot to land on the beam EVERY time? And my second foot at least closer?

    Cartwheels and Handstands On Beam... Oh My!

    I have been doing cartwheels and handstands on low beam for a year, but I cannot do them on high beam. I am afraid of falling over in my handstand, and my coaches tell me to twist off, but I don't know how!!! Also, when I practice them on the floor beam, I often fall completely to the side...

    Cartwheel Fundraiser!

    So this year is my school's anniversary (125 years old) and one of the things we are doing is using our talents to raise money for a school building project in Kenya. Each person has to come up with an individual way of using their talents to raise money so I thought of...cartwheels. However I...

    Coaches Hand Placement for Cartwheels

    Just curious, how do you teach gymnasts to place their hands for a cartwheel on the floor? I never really thought about it before until I started working at a new gym that taught hand placement differently, so now I'm curious what methods other coaches use and why that method is preferred.
