    Drills for needle scale

    I am wondering if there are any drills for getting a full needle scale on beam. I am about 35-40 degrees from a full split. I already have the drill where you put your scaled leg up against the wall and walk it closer to the wall if that makes sense. Thank you in advance for your input.

    Coaches Drills for Tippelt tap on p-bars

    I have a rising level 6 who has a very easy time with giant-style turnover, but a very hard time stopping his rotation for a moy. He can do a beautiful flyaway off the end, and can do giants with a spot, but can't catch a moy because he overrotates it (on more than one occasion he has, while...

    Shoulder Flexibility/Range of Motion drills

    Short and to the point: What are your best drills for increasing shoulder flexibility/ROM, I know a few but I'd like to expand. This is mainly intended for coaches, but I'm not willing to put it in the coaches only forum and miss out on good input from non-coaches. Thank you in advanced.

    How to fix not setting for a punch front tuck? Drills?

    Hello! I'll make this as concise as possible. A new girl just joined one of my T&T classes, and everything is pretty solid aside from her punch front tuck. She will not set, and as she punches she starts dropping her chest/looks down...also throws her arms down, basically she tries to...

    Front Walkover Drills...?

    I'm really close to getting my front walkover. Really, REALLY close. I get up a few inches, but then I either fall back or fall forward. Does anybody know any drills or strength exercises that will help me get my front walkover? Because failing at it again and again isn't helping- at all.

    what's so special about this drill? *shoulder flex*

    I really like the 'thegymnasticminute' youtube channel - they mostly publish good stuff, trying to give the best advices in the shortest time. They posted this video (not new) showing some shoulder flexibility drills - and I was wondering about the first one, the one with the aerobics band -...

    HELP, skill name and drills

    Hi there, looking for a skill name. Uneven bars, you do a sole circle on the lower bar, but not all the way around it, after 2/3 around you open up, do a 1/2 turn and kip up. Any ideas ? Vault: 1/2 in 1/2 out, does this one exist in the US ?

    Coaches Specific BHS drills for taller athletes

    I just wound up with a class of cheerleaders who want to work backhandsprings. They actually aren't doing badly--we've fixed some handstands, some roundoffs, and the push back action. But when it comes to spotting them, I'm having some trouble-it's HARD when they're as big as the coach! The...
