Back Handspring step out Layout step out on FLOOR: When do you teach it? How do you teach it? What are prerequisites? What levels should girls be doing this (training USAG)? Is it a hard skill to learn?

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!

So I have my RO Bhs perfectly. But I'm just really scared to go for a ro Bhs Bhs. I've done it before lots of times and then now I can't seem to be able to do it..I think part of it is that I think too much and scare myself. And i need this skill before the summer is over or else I won't move...

I am terrified of back handsprings on beam.:eek: I used to be really good at them on the high beam, but I have a mental block:mad: Every time my coach tells me to do them, I just act like I didn't hear her. I really want to move up though, and this is the last skill I need. I only have until...

Is a back handspring easier than a front handspring? DD's coach introduced the fhs last week and my dd is unable to do it without landing on her butt. She is a quick learner and really strong so I was suprised that she told me she was struggling. She has her standing bhs and just recently got...

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...

I have a girl who has a really great front handspring vault - not so much on the floor though. She squats it every time. Her arms always flail out to the side. I've tried tying them in to keep them by her ears and that's not helping. She has a really nice block on the vault, but why not on the...

My daughter is moving up to xcel bronze next year and is very close to having her back handspring. Can she compete it next year if she gets it?

Whenever I do a back handspring, my feet always seperate, then go back together for the end. I don't know how to fix it. :( I've had by back handspring for years, but I don't know when it started to be a problem. They still are apart in my ROBHS but it's not as noticeable as my standing BHS...

Okay so I've been working on back handsprings on beam for over a year now. They haven't gotten any better. I'm still on low beam with mats. I have done it on the medium beam with a spot. I've been told so many things about my handspring are wrong. Like, I keep my head in and end up not seeing...

My daughter has been working on bhs on the beam for a few months now and can usually do it quite nicely. She has unfortunately fractured fingers twice in the last 3 months doing this skill. (First time in early December was a fracture of her index finger and the second time happened a couple...

A little while back, I posted asking for advice for dd, struggling with her back handspring (after seeing a friend break her arm). We decided to take the pressure off (after some great advice), I was in pretty constant communication with the coach, making sure we were on the same page. Right...
