    Vault Finals Question

    This may be completely obvious to most of you, but I am confused. I know Biles is moving on to the Vault Finals. And, I know that to do so, she competed two vaults (from two different vault categories) during qualifications. What I don't understand is why Raisman, Hernandez and Douglas did...

    Has anyone heard that the level 7 vault may be changing? Wondering when the decision will be made if it is something they are thinking about doing.

    Women Level 7 Vaults

    I am curious about level 7 vaults. My dd will compete L7 in the fall and said that she is bored with the fhs vault and is planning on doing some sort of twisting vault. I think she said a half on half off. My question is this, which vaults are most common in L7? Also, how is scoring? Has anyone...

    Women Level 10 Vault Help!

    hello, My daughter is in her first year of L10. She was successful and just wrapped up Regionals. Moving forward, she needs to have a L10 Vault with a Start Value at 10.0. She has been doing yurchenko layouts. She is a tiny gymnast though only weighing 76 pounds. So the yurchenko entry...

    Coaches Help with vault

    Can someone share some drills or links with drills to remove the pike out of vaults? I'm so frustrated. I'm not a vault coach, but have 3 teams that i now have to train all events. They are so inconsistent! I have girls that go from 9.7 to 8.2 the very next meet. They have lots of power...

    Coaches closing hips when hand hit the vault

    I have a gymnast who goes onto the in a good shape on her front handspring but as soon as her hands hit the vault she closes her hips and pikes, is there any drills/conditioning that i can do to get the to stop this?

    Women Vault scoring - L8 vs L9/10

    I thought the new vaulting rule in L8/9/10 is that the second vault score is used, regardless if the score is better or not, making it a strategic decision whether a gymnast should even compete a second vault. My dd argues this is just for L8, and that L9/10 still takes the better of two. Is she...

    Coaches Piked handstand flatback vault

    I'm looking for new drills to fix this problem with a seven-year-old. Tried tons of reverse leg lifts with legs hanging off a block as well as punching drills. Her vault is otherwise looking good, she has a lot of power coming into the board but something just isn't quite clicking yet.

    Women FHS Vault

    How can this vault vary so much? My daughter seems to be a chameleon with this one. What causes so much variation? after all it is the same skill over and over...... DD went from a decent L4 one to a really good L5 one, now its shot.....Ive never seen it so ugly, almost like she's re learning...

    Women Front Handspring Vault Critique

    I was wondering if anybody, preferably with coaching or judging experience, would be willing to give me feedback and an approximate score on my front handspring vaults. I will be competing USAG level 7 this year. I have a hard time looking at my own vaults with an unbiased eye, since I'm already...

    Women Level 4 vs Level 5 vs Level 7 vault FHS

    Quick question, would a Level 4 vault that scores 9.3 score 9.3 in level 7? Are they scored the same in each level, or are there additional requirements that come into play? Curious how this works as the gymnast goes for a long time without changing vaults.

    Front Handspring Vault Help???

    I've always struggled with my front handspring vault. Honestly, I don't think it's improved much at all since I first started working on it! Anyways, my vault is terrible, I struggle to reach a complete handstand, and I never can seem to get enough flight to get to that position. If I do get to...

    Women Front handspring vault drills

    So some of my girls have really strong vaults going over the vault table confidently, but others are still on handspring flatbacks on mat stack as they cannot get their feet moving fast enough and they either stick their bottoms up and go up in a big pike shape or don't even get up They need to...

    Women Half-on, half-off vault help

    At the risk of sounding really silly... I am really confused as to which direction the gymnast should turn in the initial half-twist on to the table in this vault - is it the same way as their round-off or the same way as their natural twist direction?

    Vault question from a new spectator

    I've been noticing that there's way more to setting up to vault than I've ever realized. Two different springboards, a mat around the springboard, a carpet square thing in front of it. What are the reasons a gymnast might want or not want the mat or carpet? What is the different between the two...

    Parents Progression question (vault?)

    I have a question about something DD does at the gym. She jumps up from the tumbletrack and onto a high mat behind her, very straight legs and tight body. Then she does the same jump but lands on her back on the mat in a hollow position with her legs pointed in the air. They repeat this a...
