roundoff

I have a level 4 going 5 gymnast that has her round-off backhandspring. While she can do it, it's not pretty by anymeans. Even though i do not believe she is ready to advance to level 5, she is being moved up. We are working on fixing her roundoff flip flop and multiple back handsprings. One of...

My daughter is 6.5 yrs old, on Preteam at her gym. We are told she has a lot of talent, and right now she is on FIRE for gymnastics! She loves it! The one thing she is really struggling with - and has struggled with for two years - is her roundoff. Seems simple enough, but she has cried and...

My college gymnastics club has been going pretty well lately, but we have one who we have run into a challenge with. He's 6'4", very strong, very into parkour and such. He learned a front tuck and standing back tuck, both above my head height in about an hour last year, and perfected them within...

Hey! I coach a developmental group for 3 and 4 year olds and I want to start teaching them round-offs. However most of the drills I know wouldn't work because they are too little or just don't have enough body awareness due to their age. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for drills I...

Yeah! My level 5 DD did her round off, back handspring, back tuck on the floor last night! She was so proud of herself. She had been doing them on the tumble track for a year or more and they looked really good, but she was afraid to do it on the floor. Last night at tumbling class she finally...

Hi, I've been working on getting my roundoff right for a while now. It's still not right and I don't really know what I'm doing wrong, I can't rebound right, I pause a bit before I rebound! Here is a video: My Video 10/12/11 at One True Media - share slideshows, slide shows, Facebook slideshows...

Hi everyone! My dd's have had lots of recent accomplishments but the title says the two biggest! Little dd, 6 yrs and trying for Level 4, did 3 RO BHS on the resi last night with the coach there just in case! She also recently did a couple beam dismounts by herself and how has her whole bar...

I ran cross country my senior year of high school and I was also still dancing, and probably since I was going back and forth between tightening and then stretching my muscles every day, I managed to pull both hip flexors (not at the same time). The right one was worse and still gives me trouble...

I am a coach for beginner level 4s and they are currently learning back handspring. When i was a gymnast ever coach I had told me to land with my arms by my ears after both round-off and back handspring. A new coach comes in and says that they must land with their arms in front of them. Now all...
