    Men Vault critique

    Hi all, I am so not able to see what the judges are looking for on vault. Can some of you more experienced ones help me understand what is good and not so good about my ds' level 6 vault. Thanks!

    Women Vault set-up

    Interested to know how you set up your vault/your gymnasts' vaults. I know it will vary with age & height and also depending on the vault being performed, but I just want to get a general idea. I am 17 (about average height or maybe below average) and I have my vault at a height of 130 cm...

    Coaches-help with vault?

    I had an amazing vault in level 3... 9.5+ consistently, and still have a beautiful vault in level 4 (over the table). I got an 8.9 at the two meets I have gone to, injured in the later meet (hurt knee that Thursday, wasn't supposed to compete but the coaches there didn't know :rolleyes: and I'm...

    Women Double blocking on level 4 front handspring vault?

    Does anyone know the penalty/deduction for double blocking (hands touching vault table twice) on the level 4 front handspring vault? And also, thoughts on why this happens?

    Club Grade 6 Vault

    So I was on YouTube looking for vault drills and came across this video... Correct me if I'm wrong but this the club grade 6 vault!? Looking at the deductions for "flight phase from block" it says deduct for "insufficient height", "insufficient length". Strikes me as quite hard to achieve...

    Women Level 4 Vault prediction

    I know this is silly. I dont even have a video but here goes. DD has struggled with vault as so many other small athletes. She has improved a TON in the last 6 months. Her vault now has a good run, not the fastest but definitely fast. She has the arm circle. When she hits the table, she is...

    Women My turn now! L5 vault critique please!

    Vault has been a huge weakness for DD since last year at new 4. Scores have varied between 8.4-8.7. I know she's not getting enough block. What else is she doing wrong, and do you think one private before states would get her score up enough to not kill her AA, or would it take more work...

    Women Question about L2 vault

    I know most areas do not compete L2 seriously, but our area does. DD is doing great on everything but this handstand flat back vault. They use a low mat (same as L1 vault). She has a lot of power and is basically propelling herself through the air like she's doing a front handspring. On some...

    Parents Difficulty with Vaults

    8 year old level 5 dd is having difficulty with vault. She does awesome in all other events always getting 9's. She can't break 8.5 on vault. She apparently is having difficulty with her arm swings and timing. Any other girls have difficulties with vault that they eventually overcame? She is...

    Coaches Vault height

    I have a small kid that does yurchenko vaults ... I lowered the vault from 120 to 110 ... it works great. Do judges take off for lowering the vault table? I know it sounds like a dumb question I never thought they did but my boss wants her to vault on 120 even though she cant get on the table.

    Women front handspring vault

    I was watching my daughter's vault drill, and the coach put up a big wedge in front of the vault which she was supposed to pass in her pre-flight. This caused her pre-flight to be too high and her shoulder angle was still closed when she was at vertical. Can someone explain what the purpose of...

    Coaches Vault workout

    Women New Vault - Only Round-Off Backhandspring

    Looking through the Code The Pointage, I found some new interesting vaults I have never heard before! 1. Round-off, flic-flac on – repulsion off SV: 2.60P 2. Round-off, flic-flac with 1⁄2 turn (180°) on – Handspring fwd off...

    Coaches How should I measure vault starting points with distance tape?

    I recently purchased a Velcro tape measure from Norbert's for my vault runway and plan on assigning the girls set markings to avoid start distance confusion. This way, the girls can really refine their approach and thus create more reliable vaults, and I'll have a much easier time playing around...

    Women Arm Circle on Vault

    Hi guys! So I've been trying to learn an arm circle on vault, but the problem is I've never really practiced vaulting with them before. I know how to do an arm circle (and I do things like the old level 4/handstand fall flat or hand stand shoulder pops with an arm circle) but when I actually...

    Parents Trampoline vault vs spring vault

    What is the advantage of using a trampoline vault pad over the spring type? Or disadvantage? Watching an Excel meet and trying to figure out why the coaches choose one over the other.

    Men Vault Blocking

    So I was just moved up to level 8 about two months ago and I need a new vault. I competed level 6 last season (front handspring vault) and never scored lower than a 9.0 on vault. I'm looking to compete a handspring front tuck on vault hopefully this season. My coaches say I have a pretty good...

    Women Vault issues with young dd

    My dd is 6 1/2 and is a new level 2. She had her first meet last weekend and did okay over all except that she scratched her vault because she had to be spotted. She was the only one on her team that needed to be spotted and there was only one other in the meet. She's feeling discouraged because...
