    Coaches The hurdle for tumbling

    In view of the fact that the hurdle is such an important part of tumbling I was hoping someone could clarify the key coaching points and common errors in the hurdle for tumbling (and any good drills). For example positions of the arms, legs etc. Thanks in advance. Kez

    T&T Competing tumbling/tramp at older age?

    I am 26 years old and I am interested in competing power tumbling, trampoline and double mini. Is this an impossible dream? Is the sport mainly just for people begining at younger ages? I have noticed some older males but not many older females. I don't know what exact level I would be at but I...

    Floor Tumbling Requirements for MDL Level A & B

    I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the floor tumbling requirements or "acro flight series" as worded on the MDL Divisions website. For Level A, it clearly states "front handspring, roundoff back handspring..." and for Level B it states "...2 elements acro flight series with one forward...

    Help Me! Back Tumbling Fear

    I do my bhs and back tuck on the trampoline and on a mat all the time but I just can't do it out on the floor! :eek: I feel like I will hit my head. I feel like such a wimp too, since I can throw fronts when my form is worse on those than in my back tumbling. I feel like everything will be...

    T&T Talk to me about T/T/Power Tumbling

    Hi all, My dd has been doing Artistic USAG for 4 years now, just finished L6 season. We just moved from FL to TX, where, after one month at her new gym, she decided to take a break from competitive gymnastics (I have posted about this a bunch in the parent forum, sorry if it's repetitive to you...

    front tumbling

    front tumbling is so foreign to me. back in the early 90's front tumbling meant doing a ro bhs whatever - out of a front tuck. for me, front handsprings were so hard to get the correct angle to get any power out of. i keep telling my self that gymnastics is repetition. so i have been...

    Parents Allowed to tumble again

    So this week dd was allowed to tumble again. The first practice she went to she was balking even doing bhs, wasn't doing tucks let alone layouts. I was really nervous that she was going to have to start over. Well yesterday she went to a tumbling class and I was talking to another mom - out...

    DD had a tumbling breakthrough!!!

    DD had a great night at practice tonight!!! For all of you that have been following her progress, she has been having trouble on one major skill-the RO BHS. Well, tonight, for the first time in 6 months she actually jumped out of her rebound into the BHS!!!! She still had a spot, but this is...

    Parents From Artistic to Tramp/Tumble

    After a serious fall on the beam that left my dd injured, shaken and ready to quit, her coach offered her several choices to stay rather than just quit. She wanted rythmic gymnastics but he doesn't offer it right now, maybe next year with his wife as the coach. So he offered her to stay L7 and...

    drills & conditioning for front tumbling

    I'm looking for some drills and conditioning myself and my adult class classmates can do to better our front tumbling. Most of us are working on FHS and/or front tucks and I though it would be nice if I could bring some things in we could do as a group, or two groups with FHS people in one and...

    Cheer Tumbling vs. Gymnastics Tumbling

    Shouldn't there be natural progressions of tumbling skills that are needed first before moving onto other tumbling skills? There just seems to be such a rush in cheer tumbling to "get certain skills" as opposed to in gymnastics. For example, some of my dd's friends who were learning BHS's...

    Tumbling Drills for Height

    Does anyone know some drills to get higher on my saltos? I do get relatively high but, I want to know what I can do to get them higher. Sorry that I posted it in the wrong forum.

    Tumbling Issues

    My coach said last night that while my tumbling skills themselves are fine, my form is sloppy as of late *bent legs & separated legs mostly*. In other words, I wasn't tumbling at my full potential and strength (specifically on the ro-bhs-back tuck). However, my back tuck is pretty high despite...

    Cheer Tumbling

    Some may remember I pulled DD out of gymnastics because of the cost. If I signed her up at a local cheer gym for tumbling classes (not a cheer team) would that mess her up if she ends up going back to gymnastics in a year or two? I know cheer tumbling is different than gymnastics tumbling.
