    Parents Which side does your kid use to tumble?

    DD goes left. She is right handed as far as I know. Is left unusal? I'm not a gymnast, but can do simple things like a cartwheel, roundoff and I use my right hand/foot.

    Parents Tumbling class

    Dd1 wants to sign up for tumbling class this summer. I'm kind of surprised as she's the one who was really ready to be done with gymnastics. Of course I said "sure." It's going to be kind of weird as she'll be in a class with girls working back handsprings while she's working doubles, but...

    Coaches Front tumbling: handspring or punch?

    For front tumbling passes, do you prefer to have gymnasts start with a front handspring or punch straight into the first salto of the pass? I've seen it done both ways by many gymnasts. It seems to me the punch is easier to do correctly, while the handspring, if done right, provides more power...

    Coaches Technique discussion: back tumbling

    This is basically an offshoot of a side discussion we were having in the vault thread. I'd like to leave this fairly open; we can discuss handpsrings, tucks, layouts, doubles, whatever. I'll post my thoughts/philosophies later, when I have a bit more time to write them up.
