    Men vaults.....

    So, the future level 8s at the gym are working different vaults. D is working the one where you round off on the table and then back tuck. 2 of his teammates are working a front handspring with a front tuck. So, at level 8, what are the vaults? And start values? This optional stuff is going...

    Coaches Starting vault training over

    Thanks for all that responded to my other thread. Now that the season is over and we have lots of time to get it right, what should I be doing to stretch out the preflight so they're coming in at the correct angle to block?

    Women Vault table fears....update

    Today I talked to DCoach and asked if he could have DD do vault in slo-mo. He smiled and said, 'then I have to hold her and stop her in every section'......I said 'yes, she only weighs 50 lbs'. And we both laughed. He said he was not worried, that there was plenty of time before the summer meet...

    Women How far do you have your springboard from the vault?

    I'm interested to know how far you (or your gymnast) likes to have the front of the springboard from the vault when you are vaulting. I realise that comparisons can't really be made because as gymnasts get older, this is likely to change & also people may prefer a different distance depending...

    Women Discussing vault table fears

    DD has been struggling with fear of the vault table. She is small, and vault is her weakest event. She has gone over many times but she needs SUCH a mental wind up to do it. She has not been able to go over for two weeks and DCoach is telling her things like, 'you have to go over to get to the...

    Coaches Vault coaching fail

    What I discovered over the past two years coaching old level 4 was that scores were best with a high pre-flight and a tight body to fall. When we try to translate those vaults to the table it is resulting in vaults with no blocks. They are tight so they bounce off their hands a little but most...

    Coaches Tucked preflight of a FHS vault on Table?

    My level 3s are starting to vault on the horse this month. They all have wonderful Level 3 vaults scoring between 9.3 and 9.65. One athlete (9.5 last meet) is vaulting on the table by herself already, and she actually has a pretty good block, but she's tucking on her preflight and then...

    Women 8 yo L7 vaulting

    This a bit of a brag but I continue to be amazed by the stuff my 8 year old DD does at the gym. I knew she had been working some up-skills but i wasn't expecting this: It is pretty cool though.

    Women Yurchenko Vault?

    I am just trying to understand. Is there a direct connection between the handspring vault and the Yurchenko vault? In other words the only way a kid will have a dynamic yurchenko vault is if they have an equally dynamic handspring vault. I have heard conflicting ideas and I am just trying to...

    Women Vault - Front Handspring onto the Board

    DD and I were at a big college meet a few weeks ago and, unless my eyes were playing tricks on me, I saw two different girls compete a vault where they did a front handspring on the runway, landing with their feet on the board, front handspring entry and then front/front half out of it. It was...

    Women FHS Vault - Scoring by level

    So probably a dumb question. I searched and can't seem to find the answer. If Levels 4-7 all compete the same FHS vault, is there a difference in how it is scored? (for example, a cast is required in each level, but the way it is "scored" changes through the levels.) If a L4 gymmie received...

    Coaches Vault Table - How do you use it with recreational gymnasts?

    Hi coaches, I can't seem to get the kids (ages 4-8)to do anything but kneel on our vault table. This is just for beginner recreational gymnastics...and I used to love the old style vault, and maybe I just can't get past this new 'table' style. With the traditional vault horse, I could coach...

    Coaches FHS vault, where to look

    Should the gymnast be looking at the springboard or vault table when running down the vault strip on a FHS vault? There have been mixed answers to this at our gym. Wondering what y'all think?

    Women Flipping Vault Leg Position

    This post crosses the power (or danger) of technology and a parent's questions on "what in the world are the deductions on vault". Vault is one of those events that I've never really been able to gauge on scoring. At yesterday's meet, one of the father's had a high powered lens on a camera...

    Women front handspring vault trouble

    I have been doing the front handspring vault for a year now, and it still isn't that good. I don't stand up when I hit the board, I just reach straight for the vault. My coaches have told me to stand up on the board, drive my heels, reach farther out on the vault, and many other corrections. I...

    Women Level 8 Vaulting

    What criteria are used in deciding to have a gymnast vault a tsuk versus a yurchenko? How early does a coach make a decision? How common is it for gymnasts to learn both?

    Women Vault springboard for elite/FIG

    Hi! I posted a similar question a couple years ago, but I was asking about JO. Now I am interested in elite requirements. Is there a particular brand springboard that is required for use in FIG competition? Which board is used most commonly? What about spring configurations and number of...
