drills

a few of my girls are having problems with opening up into the handstand. they almost always open up way too early and sometimes they open up late but it almost never happens that way. so are their any drills out there that help with the timing? and also is there any conditioning that they could...

They are new and not geetting the shapes needed to create big swings tips videos progressions. What am I missing these are new training fives. really struggling with the timing of the arch tap.

Does anyone know any layed out full twist drills? I had mine then I quit for 6 months & now I need it again and I started twisting the opposite way. So I'm scared. Any help?

Looking for front handspring drills that 6/7 year olds could do. They are just starting and tend to land in a squat. So far: I've been spotting them thru the motions slowly, been having them try them off a panel mat or crash mat onto the floor, been having them do flysprings on tumble track...

i know there was a previous thread about this skill but it wasnt quite what i was looking for. i cant seem to get my girls to wrap themselves around the bar in the circle. they cant get the concept of fall till horizontal then nose to knees. are there and drills for this? or is it just practice...

i have a girl that has just started to work these. when she does let go to flip, she ends up going strait down and flipping well away from the bar and definitely not landing on her feet. I know she is not letting go at the top of the swing but im not sure if thats the major problem. i also cant...

I need more ideas for stride/mill circle training. We work on stride hold on top of bar, big step forward to a panel mat, chest up, arms straight. Also work on stride walks under bar in stride hold. Some of my kids are getting it, but many are not. Need ideas to work on hand shift, and any...

My group of beginner girls does vault every other week and I'm need of some new drills. We don't have a level 4 vault mat, just a port-a-pit that we can stack an 8 incher or two on top of to get a similar effect. We also have a vault table, I just prefer not to use that with the lower levels...

At my gym we are having a really hard time with out optional level gymnasts with back layouts. Every single one of them either throws their head or chest backwards instead of setting up. We constantly correct them and they know what they need to do, they just cant seem to get their bodys to do...

I have a few girls that are really struggling with keeping straight legs when they are landing/pushing out of the first (step out) front handspring in the level 6 pass and going into the second one (2 foot)....Any suggestions?

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knew any good drills for kips and keeping the arms straight. I have to gymansts who have their kips but cant seem to keep their arms straight. I have told them to shift their wrists faster to the top of the bar, but that still doesnt seem to work. Any...

Hi - I'm looking for some more drills specifically to help a number of my gymnasts that tend to backflip by jumping through their knees and not by jumping through their feet (hope that makes sense). We already do the jump back drill as part of our back flip circuit to try to encourage a better...

What kind of fun and interesting drills does everyone do on bars in your rec classes? Sometimes I feel like I'm doing the same old thing over and over and the kids get bored of it. Here are some of the drills I do: Basic chin-ups Chin-ups with pike legs on a block Hang in a chin-up Try to...

Hi ya'll: Does anyone know some good drills for a BHS? Mine's okay... I do it well with a spot but then when I get less or no spot, I bend my arms... A LOT! I'm not sure why that is, it's not a lack of strength in my arms (we hold handstands for 4 mins against walls at start of every practice...

I got my kip like 5 months ago and they are STILL giving me crap! When I make them my arms are usually straight, but I have so much trouble making them. I hardly ever make my high bar and my low bar is somewhat consistent some days and not at all on others. I've been working really hard trying...
