    Roll off bar (rec dismount)

    This year I started coaching/assisting. I have one girl that refuses to roll off of the low bar. (That's about the best I can describe it, that's what we call it. Sorry if you don't know what I'm talking about.) She is too scared. What kind of drills can I do to get her to do it? Recently she...

    Handstand Forward Roll: bent or straight arms

    I've been working on my handstand forward rolls in class. Everyone in the class, even the newbies, have no trouble with them, but I can't seem to get them. When I first did them with a spot I automatically was rolling out of them with straight arms, but the coach said to first do them with bent...

    Level 5 Back extension roll ?

    When my daughter does her back extension roll, she doesn't do a tuck sit into it, she does a pike sit into it. So she is standing up, then with her legs straight she goes back into it. She says it is easier that way, but I haven't seen it done that way. Is that an alternative way to do it...

    Backextension roll on beam?

    Hi! I have very bad flexibility in my shoulders which makes it really hard to do a backwalkover on the floor much less on the beam:). So I am going to do a backextension roll instead. It is working out really well for me...I can already do it on the floor beam. The only problem is that NOBODY...

    Back Extension Roll With Straight Arms: The Silver Bullet

    Before the gymnast puts much weight on her arms she should already be on the way to the handstand. The momentum or kip action of rolling back and extending up gives a moment of weightlessness. That's the moment that the gymnast can effortlessly get to the handstand and thereafter, catch her...

    Teaching Back Extension Roll on Beam

    Yes? No? This is a pre-emptive post because I haven't tried yet either, but I don't really understand how this skill will work most effectively. I guess I gather that it is going to be bent arm and the kid wants their hands placed kind of behind their head (yes? no? when I do a back extension my...
