    Layouts!

    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...

    Gym Layout

    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!

    Coaches Back layout step-out question

I typically think of the step-out part of the layout happening somewhat early in the rotation, meaning the legs...

    Coaches 17 Y.O. reluctant to change RO Back Layout

    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...
