    Parents Judging the front handspring vault

    Is there different criteria for judging and scoring the front handspring vault based in the level where it is competed? Meaning, if a gymnast competes her vault, will this exact same vault receive a different score based in whether she is a level 4, 5, 6, or 7 (I believe all have a 10.0 start...

    Parents Question: In new level four vault, do they score the best or average them?

    I never did figure this out last year in old four. Still confused this year! LOL So, do they average the two vaults or do they take the score of the better vault?

    Coaches Too high on FHS vault

    For some reason this is the first time I've ever had a kid with this problem. Last year she could barely get over the vault, and now she's absolutely blossomed on everything, which is great!! She's a tiny little thing but she runs like a beast and literally front layouts over the vault. She...

    Women Vault question-is yurchenko always better choice?

    Is the yurchenko considered the most difficult and most desirable vault at the highest levels of gymnastics? It seems that the tsuk is prettier (in my opinion) and FHS vaults have some pretty amazing levels of difficulty when you think of the power it takes to do it with the flipping elements...

    Women Ok, I really don't know...question about vault

    My dd is doing a yurchenko vault. All the other girls in her group are doing tsuks. I don't want to ask at the gym. But...why?? I read here that a tsuk has a higher start value. So, is she just doing a yurchenko bc she can't do a tsuk(she hasn't trained them)? What are the benefits or...

    Women Secret Classic Vault Question

    Does anybody know why only Mikayla Maroney and I think Mikayla Skinner were awarded medals when clearly others vaulted as well? Vault only went out two places while bars, beam and floor went out eight I think. Just asking because we all wondered if we missed something. Thanks!:confused:

    Women Yurchenko vault question

    This is probably a stupid question and I apologize in advance for my stupidity ;-) When girls are first learning the yurchenko vault, what is the most difficult part to learn? The round off entry or the flip on the post flight? My presumption (ignorant presumption) is that if the ro entry is...

    Coaches Question about vault mechanics

    In vault, there are three aspects that gymnasts and coaches try to maximize; vertical amplitude (ie height), horizontal amplitude (ie distance), and angular momentum (ie rotation). Given that the gymnast enters the vault with a finite amount of power, the power must then be split between these...

    Women Vault Table Question

    Is it normal for a coach to set a requirement setting they want everyone to vault at? At our gym, they want the new 4's (old 5's) to vault on 2. DD can do the vault on 0 at her private lessons. (her coach claims she doesn't touch her and just stands there) She is 4'6 and could probably do the...

    I need a new vault!

    Okay so I just started at a new gym and everyone can do a ton of different vaults. All we did at my old gym was front handsprings, and I've done a few half-ons. I'm not quite sure what to work on for a new vault. Any suggestions?

    Parents vault progression in your kids' gyms?

    After watching the Yurchenko thread, I'm curious to hear about how your children's coaches do vault progressions. My DD is L7 training L8 but will probably compete new 7 next season. They started doing Tsuk drills during L5 and Yurchenko drills during L6. Last competitive season, the only time...

    Parents Heel pain on vault and tumbling

    My 10 year old daughter has been competing for 5 years now. She just finished her XCEL Silver season and is training for L5. In 2 years my daughter has grown 10 inches and has also gained weight (due to the growth spurt - she isn't considered "overweight" at all). She has been complaining lately...

    Front hand spring vault, mental blocks

    Hi everyone! This is my first post so I hope I'm doing this right. Anyway, I used to compete level 8, then I quit for 5 years, and now I do competitive school gymnastics. I've lost most of my skills. I haven't lost my front handspring vault, but today, I had a huge block. I physically know I can...

    Parents Just can't figure out the vault

    My daughter has been doing great in every other area except vault. I would love to know of some home exercises she could work on to help. The coach says her run and jump are fine. She also has a great handstand flat back. She seems to have a problem getting her butt up over her head sometimes...
