    Women Interesting vault...

    So a level 9 at my gym is competing a Yurchenko Tuck Arabian. It's cool looking but I'm curious about the value... Is an arabian worth the same as a half twist? She also works Yurchenko Pike Arabian and she even does an arabian half out sometimes. Would that be worth the same as a full? It looks...

    Women Level 5 Vault Arm Circle

    This comes out of a discussion tonight. What is the general train of thought on arm circles, which is better, large or small? What is currently being taught? If a gymnast is doing one type and another type is now being taught, does that hurt the vault score? Sorry for being so general.

    Women Level 5 vault

    Have any of you ever seen anyone vault on 95 cm in a meet? My little dd has a great vault on 95, but not as good of vault on 100 - just wondering if it happens... I explained to her that it is only 2 inches, but it does affect her a little bit mentally and physically. Any thoughts...

    Women Handspring Vault - Chest Up?

    I am seeking drills that 7 year olds can do to correct chest position in handspring vault when jumping on board.They are fast runners and hard jumpers (for the most part) but all seem to lean too far forward on the board. Verbal corrections of "keep your chest up" and "stand up straighter" are...

    Women Level 5 Vault

    Okay, my DD is 7 and will compete L5 this winter/spring. She is small for her age. (about 5% on height and weight). She gets up and over the vault, that's not an issue. (at the right height and without a spot). She may look like a sway back horse going off the back end..but she gets it done..lol...

    Coaches Not Vault in Rec Gym

    I teach the highest level rec class right now which is working on level 3,4, & 5 skills. We don't have anything more than vaulting mats in the rec gym. A few of them really need to be working on front hand springs. What can I do to get them ready for that with just mats? Also, where can i...

    Coaches GRR FHS Vaults!!

    My Level 5s need HELP!!! I "inherited" girls who were never taught a correct FHS vault, and now have been doing them incorrectly for 3 or 4 YEARS. Their main problem is that they pike terribly getting onto the vault and are too slow off. I have had them try to get their feet in front on the...

    Women Vault Scores - Level 6 & 7

    Just curious since we are heading into meet season. Is level 6 & 7 vault scored the same as level 5 vault? For example, if a gymnast is a level 5 and scores a 9.0 would that same vault get the same score if she were level 6 or 7? Are the deductions the same or greater in level 6 and then even...

    Women USAG JO Level 5 Vault Deduction for full spot over vault

    Just curious- is there a standard deduction, as in 2.0 or something like that, for a full spot over the vault table? I am talking about gymnast runs, hurdles, straight jumps and the coach assists with the handspring portion of the vault. Not so worried about scores, really, just curious if...

    Women Yurchenko half (1/2) on vaults

    When doing a Yurchenko half on...should a gymnast be perfectly square with their lower body when hitting the board? I've watched many videos and have noticed that a majority of gymnasts performing this vault are slightly (or majorly) skewed when hitting the board. However...I have seen some...

    Women Maroney 2013 Vaults

    With the new vault changes in the 2013-2016 code (You cannot have the same entry Ex. Yurchenko for 1st, can't do a yurchenko for the 2nd. Has to be a handspring or tsuk entry) What will Mckayla's 2nd vault be? I'm voting on a Tsuk double full, maybe eventually she'd do a tsuk 2 1/2. What do you...

    Women Hurdle mat for vault

    I heard today that you are no longer allowed to use a hurdle mat for vault unless you are using it for your hands (like doing a yurchenko) I heard it was because a gymnast slipped on one and broke her neck and now their is a big law suit. Is that true? Also are they doing something different...

    Can someone explain vault to me please?

    Back in my day everyone did two vaults, and the score was averaged. Men only had one vault. I didn't notice yesterday whether the men still only did one- is that still the case? Women. Most seemed to do one vault, some two. I think I get that those who do one vault don't qualify to the...
