    Backwards roll into a handstand?

    Hi, I'm not sure what this trick is called but you go into a backwards roll and push up to a handstand...Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me. It is SO hard for me to get into a handstand from the roll. It just seems like you need an incredible amount of strength. Any advice?

    beginners and back rolls

    I teach a beginner competitive class, and in their routine they need to be able to do the connection back pike to tuck- tuck to straddle roll (i really hope that makes sense). Its basically two rolls connected, but I'm having a huge problem with a few of my gymnastics going over thier shoulders...

    back extension roll

    My gymnast is newly competing level 5, doing great. The one thing currently giving her trouble, of all things, is the back extention roll w/ straight arms. This is a skill she had (briefly), but then her neck and back were sore and she avoided them for a few weeks, and now she's not popping...

    Coaches Help with Backward Roll to Push-up

    Hi. I'm hoping to get some tips from some of you on the L4 backward roll to a push-up position. Just about everytime my DD does this, she ends up going splat on her stomach at the end of the roll once her feet hit the floor. I can't figure out why this happens. Sometimes it seems as if she is...

    Dive Roll in Level 5 Routine

    DD is having trouble on her dive roll. She is piking and we can't seem to get her to not pike and I think part of it might be that she doesn't understand what the coaches are trying to tell her to do to fix it. Can anyone give me some tips and/or drills that she can work on to help her work on...

    Parents dd's roll on beam without hands video

    I quickly made a little film of her doing a few rolls and summersaults on vault just now. So I will see if I can remember how to put it right in this post. It is a shame I didn't get her cartwheel this time, but she can do that on beam too. She started learning that last Summer, when we trained...

She is at the point now that she goes up into the handstandthen immediately "crumples" (my word for how it looks) into a ball and rolls out. She has no clue how to lean in the handstand...

    Back extension rolls

    The only skill i can't do in the compulsory floor routines is the back extension rolls. I either end up in an extremely arched handstand and then fall back into a bridge, or a end up flat one the ground with my hands under my hips, laying on my stomach. It always hurts my shoulders, too. Is...

    standing dive rolls

    Hi -- I'm trying to figure out a better way to teach my beginner girls how to do standing dive rolls. I've tried a few different techniques: explaining the mechanics, demonstrating, using towels/pillowcases for them to dive over, etc., but truthfully watching them do the skill is painful even...

    Does anyone have any ideas for helping beginners to "get" their handstand forward rolls? Most of my beginning gymnasts hate doing them and I try to think of different ways to SHOW and TELL them what to do and I've been trying different stations during our floor time such as walking their feet...
