    Anon Level 6 Vault scoring and drills to improve?

    I've noticed level 6 vault scoring has been VERY low scoring all season across all teams in So Cal... no matter what vault is done, Yurchenko, Tsuak, or Front Handspring. I'd say 95% of gymnasts are getting 9.1 or lower with a few outliers getting 9.2-9.3s. (maybe a flukey 9.5). This is...

    My daughter is a level 7 (1st season) age 11. She has been doing her Yurchenko for a couple of seasons, but just recently (her coach thinks since her block) has started studder stepping. Surprisingly, she can still get some height off the Vault, but is landing almost with her feet under the...

    T&T Air awareness drill

    I may have found an air awareness drill ... or I may have just found a fun way to get dizzy. Basically, the drill is just walking, stretching, turning, or balancing (especially balancing) with your eyes closed. Doesn't require equipment. In fact, equipment is discouraged as that will certainly...
