handspring vault

When we work on handspring vault I can go over with help. I know I need to kick and reach far, but are their tips to keep you legs straight or to get more power? Or do I just have to keep trying till it clicks?

I am seeking drills that 7 year olds can do to correct chest position in handspring vault when jumping on board.They are fast runners and hard jumpers (for the most part) but all seem to lean too far forward on the board. Verbal corrections of "keep your chest up" and "stand up straighter" are...

I have a question for coaches. When you are teaching gymnasts to do the front handspring vault (ones who haven't done it before), how do you set the vault table? Would you start them on a low table, have them perfect the vault on that and then move it up? Would you have them learn the vault...

This is my first year coaching team by myself, and on a regular schedule. As I have ranted about in other posts on here, our new director is moving girls up too quickly. I am coaching level fives once a week. Only one of the girls has her kip at all, and none of them can do cartwheels on the...

Block is an important part of so many skills. Most notably, handspring vaults and variations thereof. I've tried coaching a block in several ways, and discussed it with many other coaches, and the conclusion I've come to seems to dissagree with the way many coaches teach it. I thought this...
