    My daughter is still "pike" on her vault

    My daughter (level 2) is still what the coach calls "pike" on her vault. Presently, she is landing on mats and I guess she cannot progress to full handspring (without the mats) until she is no longer pike. Can anyone help? Is there something that would help her? I appreciate any ideas. Thanks.
