layout

how do you guys get your kids to set and hollow or straight through the whole skill? my biggest issue is that 9 out 10 and sometime 10 out of ten kids are throwing their head back and arching over. These are'nt totally ugly, scary, layouts, but they're archy...kind of tight archy. If I move...

Bahh, I need help. I just can't get it. Does anyone have any tips.. or steps.. Idc, anything will improve it!!! Thank You :)

in a L7 floor routine, does a full fulfill the same requirement as the layout? i know they have the same value but im asking if a girl can do a full and skip the layout. at our meet, one of the coaches told the girls to a full as the first pass and a tuck for the last. i always thought that a...

Hi, I think that is how you call that element. Any drills ? And where do you exactly put your arms ? THX...

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 Level 9 gymnast who has GREAT tuck/pike tsuks and is wanting to learn a layout. She is training them to pit but isn't quite making the layout body position yet. She is opening more than she would in her pike but isn't quite there...any suggestions or drills? Thanks!

((on the floor)) any tips?? if I'm gonna have to do either on the beam in 2 years then i probably need to get them on the floor :D i go for them it's just i can't land it.. on my back tuck i just think my rotation is kind of slow and on my layout stepout...well any help is great :)

Okay so I have noticed that in the USA that when people do back layouts pretty much everyone pulls their arms down by their sides during the rotation. At my club everyone does them with their arms up by their ears in a slight "y" formation. My coach says that it makes it easier to learn to twist...

When I get older I plan on owning/coaching at my own gym. I was wondering if you any of you know of any sites to check out or software I could take a look at maybe? And also what sort of things I should think about, such as team colours, programs, etc. Thanks!

Hey, I have a gymnast that is a reasonably strong tumbler. Very fast twitch but struggles with the set out of flic flac for salto or layout. Have tried many things but it is still not clicking. She comes out of flic with shoulders slightly in front of feet, but its like her shoulders...

not sure if this was the right section (please tell me if it isn't) but with this new layout where has the chat box gone? Also what is everyone else's opinion of the new layout? im not sure it kinda hurts my eyes :S but its just a change in colour and no chat box

Okay so at gym i do roundoff back handspring backlayout half on tumbltrak and on floor, but i cannot seem to get the full, we go to a different gym once a month to train into the pit and can get the full easily there, but when i try on tumbltrak it just doesnt work, i wont spin not matter how...

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me fix the form on my layouts. They used to be pretty arched throughout, but i managed to make the second half nice and straight/hollow, the problem is, as soon as I set for my layout i still arch into it. It looks like this...

Okay, so my daughter has been having trouble with her layout ever since she started training it. And because of that, she always get deducted. When she does her round-off back handspring layout, she ALWAYS pikes. She can never get it straight. She has tried many different techniques, and none...

So, I coach rec. and compulsory gymnasts only so this is just more because I'm interested and not because I absolutely need to know. But I figure it would be good knowledge to have. I typically think of the step-out part of the layout happening somewhat early in the rotation, meaning the legs...

This is a bit of a basic one BUT I need to hear others on the subject. Background: I coach smallish girls so much of what I do is lead up drills and shaping and spotting through skills/part skills etc. So teaching RO back layout with them from scratch isn't the issue. In the gym I am working...

Wondering if anyone knows of any really good youtube videos showing a technically correct roundoff-backhandspring-layout. Or, perhaps a layout on the trampoline? I'm looking for a really, really good example - near perfection. I'm wondering about the correct angle of the body at the finish of...

i've been working back fulls from big tramp into a pit and i'm getting them easy with good hight but when i do them off double mini i can't get the full, i become scared and think i pull out of my rotation. would it make a difference if on the double mini i was going from a RO into the full or a...

wow two weeks with her tuck flyaway and she went to open gym tonight and worked on getting her layout flyaway into the pit and started nailing them and moved them to the bars... She is landing them perfectly:) Wow.... Emily is really working hard:) I told her to get off the bars after a while...

do layout flyaways help you flip farther away from the bar so you don't hit your feet? i want to get in the habit of doing that! please reply!!!!
