    Anon Front Handspring Vault for Level 6 Gymnasts.. mat height requirement?

    Our gym is doing front handspring vaults for all our level 6 gymnasts. They all had beautiful level 5 front handspring vaults that scored mid-9s all fall season, sticking landings, no arching, straight lines. But now for level 6 they are stacking mats to nearly the height of the table. So in...

    WAG Handspring Vault head alignment

    I am having trouble keeping my head in between my arms on my front handspring vault. My head always sticks out when I hit the table and then I have to try to pull my head in real fast. My coach says I should look at my hands but that just makes my head go out more. Any tips on where I should...

    Coaches Handspring Vault Help

    Hi! I am an Xcel Gold vault coach looking for help with our front handspring vaults. Our girls have nice heel drives, good form in handstand, and get some decent distance from the table, but tend to score poorly and we don't know what to do. My guess based on listening to the judges at the...

    WAG Front Handspring Vault Critique

    I was wondering if anybody, preferably with coaching or judging experience, would be willing to give me feedback and an approximate score on my front handspring vaults. I will be competing USAG level 7 this year. I have a hard time looking at my own vaults with an unbiased eye, since I'm already...

    Front Handspring Vault Help???

    I've always struggled with my front handspring vault. Honestly, I don't think it's improved much at all since I first started working on it! Anyways, my vault is terrible, I struggle to reach a complete handstand, and I never can seem to get enough flight to get to that position. If I do get to...

    WAG Front handspring vault drills

    So some of my girls have really strong vaults going over the vault table confidently, but others are still on handspring flatbacks on mat stack as they cannot get their feet moving fast enough and they either stick their bottoms up and go up in a big pike shape or don't even get up They need to...

    Front handspring vault!

    Does anyone have any tips for getting a better reach on the vault while doing a fronthandspring? My hands usually at the front of the table not the back. Thanks!

    Coaches Front Handspring Vault Training and Drills

    The last time I coached, we were still using the horse. I've got some kids training Level 4 now and I would like some help with introducing the handspring vault. They have the run and the hurdle (mostly) down well. I'm having trouble getting them to block off the table. They are jumping...

    Does anyone know the penalty/deduction for double blocking (hands touching vault table twice) on the level 4 front handspring vault? And also, thoughts on why this happens?

    WAG front handspring vault

    I was watching my daughter's vault drill, and the coach put up a big wedge in front of the vault which she was supposed to pass in her pre-flight. This caused her pre-flight to be too high and her shoulder angle was still closed when she was at vertical. Can someone explain what the purpose of...

    Help with front handspring vault?

    How do I fix my vault? My coach says I need to reach out more so I put my hands more in the middle, not on the edge. My problem is I put my hands on the edge and I can't reach out more. Do I need more power in my run? Please help as this is my level 4 vault.

    WAG front handspring vault trouble

    I have been doing the front handspring vault for a year now, and it still isn't that good. I don't stand up when I hit the board, I just reach straight for the vault. My coaches have told me to stand up on the board, drive my heels, reach farther out on the vault, and many other corrections. I...

    Parents Judging the front handspring vault

    Is there different criteria for judging and scoring the front handspring vault based in the level where it is competed? Meaning, if a gymnast competes her vault, will this exact same vault receive a different score based in whether she is a level 4, 5, 6, or 7 (I believe all have a 10.0 start...

    DD and her team are beginning FHS vaults. DD says last night at practice, they were all doing front handsprings over a pit turned sideways with a panel mat on top. DD made it over but landed on her heels, then fell on her behind. She said this happened 95% of the time. The one time she didn't...
