    Women Front handspring vault

    DD and her team are beginning FHS vaults. DD says last night at practice, they were all doing front handsprings over a pit turned sideways with a panel mat on top. DD made it over but landed on her heels, then fell on her behind. She said this happened 95% of the time. The one time she didn't...

    Women Mustafina vault

    Maybe a silly question, but why do we always call this vault the 'Mustafina' (round off flic entry 1/2 twist onto the vault, 1 1/2 twists off layed out position) if in the Code of Points it's listed under Cheng Fei's name?

    Women Level 7 vault for next year?

    Since next year, L5 will be 4, L6 will be 5, and there will be that new 6 (like a current 6.5 or pre-L7), I am assuming they will all have that same vault, and I can't imagine the gymnasts will do that for a 4th year on L7 after the 2013 changes. Does anyone know what it will be... My dd...

    Women Has your gymnast ever done a vault drill like this?

    I am wondering if any of your gymmies have ever done a vault drill with a set up similar to the picture below. In case the pic is too dark, there is a large spotting block covered with a sting mat behind the table. My understanding is that the girls were trying to clear the spotting block and...

    Women vault question

    I was at a meet this weekend and watched something that intriqued me. A team was there and the coach was pulling springs for older competitors Level 8's (I think). The first girl almost hit her head on the table. While a different girl seemed to do OK. Why would a coach pull springs for...

    Can someone please explain to me the new level 3 vault? Is it a handstand flatback or something else. Thanks

    Women Fastest way to help new little level 5s find their vault steps?

    For all of you vault gurus... What's the fastest/most efficient way to help young (age 7) training 5s learn their vault steps? These kids scored 9s in level 4 despite the fact they did not have consistent running steps. I know they will figure it out in time, but I'll bet someone out there has...

    Women Level 7 vault question

    Another level 7 question. On vault how much of the score is height and distance of flight? Do judges take into account if the gymnast is smaller? If a 4'4" 55 lb 9 year old vaults after a 5'2" 110lb 15 year old she probably won't have as much height or distance. If the technique is good could...

    full twist on vault

    I have been practicing full twist on vault and will be competing it. It didn't really feel right when I was doing it and my couch couldn't figure it out what I was doing wrong, so he used this app on his ipad to videotape me. when he looked at it in slowmotion he saw that I am dropping the wrong...

    Women Vault: Going from Flatback to FHS successfully

    My level 5s are decent vaulters. They score mid-high 8s and consistently place within the top 5, sometimes winning, so I know we're doing ok. But their vaults (specifically their block and post-flight) are much better with mats behind the table going to their backs than when they have to land...

    Coaches Xcel Platinum Vaults

    Are they allowed to do two different vaults or do they need to be the same? Also...what about for JO Level 7?

    Women Question about spotting on vault

    We were at an out of state/region meet this weekend when I saw a spotting technique that I have never seen before so I wanted to ask here to see if this is a common technique or if it is truly as unusual as I found it. The male coach was spotting handspring vaults by putting his back on the lip...

    Women Ankle Weights During Vault

    My 9 yr DD has been complaining about foot pain. Her coaches have been making her vault with her weights on. Could this be a cause of the foot pain. It seems common sense that vaulting with weights on would be counter productive.

    Women Handspring vault?

    When we work on handspring vault I can go over with help. I know I need to kick and reach far, but are their tips to keep you legs straight or to get more power? Or do I just have to keep trying till it clicks?

    Coaches trying to improve my L5 vault

    Hi there, I don't know what to do about my vault. I can't get off the vault table. My coach tells me my pre-flight is okay and I got my run down from 5 seconds to 3.4. Can anyone tell me what is going wrong? Drills I can do at home? Here are some video's of a meet I did in December: Level 5...

    having trouble with my vault

    I am having trouble with my L5 vault. I can't seem to get off of the table. My run and pre-flight is where it is supposed to be according to my coach. My run is 3.59 seconds. But I have been having to block twice to get off of the table. I don't know what to do. Any ideas? Drills I can do at...

    Coaches Coaching girls vault

    Hey I coach the girls team in our gym on and off throughout the week and am usually put on vault or floor as I don't know much about girls events. The issue is vault was my worst event as a gymnast as the gym I came from didn't encourage many good drills. I know there are already a lot of...

    Women Level 7 Vault questions

    I was at my DDs meet this weekend and something caught my eye that I had never noticed before. When our girls were vaulting, almost all of them were hitting the vault table toward the front or middle. The other teams were hitting toward back of the table, so they were able to travel much further...

    Women any word on optionals' vault in 2013?

    Has anyone heard any gossip about what's likely to happen with optionals' vault under the new code? I assume that new L6 will keep the front handspring and new L8 will be where they start doing Tsuks and Yurchenkos, but has there been any talk of, for instance, making a Yurchenko timer a vault...
