    Coaches Handspring Flatback Vault onto 90cm mats

    Hi - I was wondering if I could have confirmation of possible causes of lack of heel drive when kids are completing the handspring flatback vault onto 90cm mats. This seems to be a bit of a problem for a few of my kids at the moment. I'm figuring this could be caused by one or a combination of...

    Vault Scoring best of the 2 or average of the 2

    How is the level 5 vault scored? I have been told that they take the average of the 2 vaults but I have also been told that they only use the best of the 2. We are in Missouri so I am not sure if this varies depending on where you live.

    Should chalk markings be allowed on Vault runway? (COACHES, GYMNAST, and JUDGES)

    As a Judge I often wonder about chalk lines on the runway as they are not really capable of being fully removed without a vaccume or water. Then this weekend with my parents hat on I experienced my child having issues with unremoved chalk marks. The rule states that the marks must be removed...

    Vault table height

    Are there minimum height requirements for the vault table at level 5? Is it realistic to think girls on the same team might vault from different table heights. Or do most coaches just set the height and leave it?

    Conditioning for FHS Vault?

    I am wondering if there are any conditioning exercises that my dd could do on her own to help her with keeping straight arms and not arching so much on her FHS vault. She tends to arch and while I haven't noticed it, her coach said she sometimes bends her arms as well. She has a fast run, but...

    What?!!! The vault fairies have come! Brag Alert!

    My dd is a 5 year old level 3 who is super small. The vault is basically over her head. She has struggled with this event. Well, this weekend she nailed it. She scored over a 9 and got first place. I am just so happy for her. I know vault may be a nemesis for her because of her size but she...

    L4 vault question

    This is for judges, coaches, anyone who might know. What happens if a gymnast does something that looks more like the L3 vault than the L4 vault (as in, she doesn't kick up to handstand and kind of...rolls...)? Will it still be scored as a L4 vault...or be void or something like that? My 6 y.o...

    Vault and Ankle

    I have my first level 8 meet on the first weekend of February, and I'm feeling pretty good about all my events except for vault. I'm usually a pretty good vaulter, but a little while ago I landed short on my piked tsuk and hurt my ankle. Now I've been very inconsistent on my vault AND...

    How many springs in your vault springboard???

    How many springs would you keep in for a very light (65lb) yurchenko vaulter? Do you adjust remove or add springs according to the gymnast's weight or power or both? Are there other factors involved???

    Tsuk Vault Help Needed!

    My dd is struggling with her tsuk. She is frustrated and she thinks her coach is frustrated with her. (which makes her more frustrated, she is a people pleaser) Her problem seems to be that she is tucking too soon. She bends her legs to tuck while she is still on the table. Being the...

    Level 5 Vault question

    So, the good news is that Kathy got her highest vault score ever (at level 5) on Sunday. The bad news is that it was still only a 7.6. I'm just wondering (out of curiousity... I promise not to make her practice vaulting over the couch or anything) what they are looking for. Another girl on...

    Coaches Favorite Vault Drills for Beginners

    My group of beginner girls does vault every other week and I'm need of some new drills. We don't have a level 4 vault mat, just a port-a-pit that we can stack an 8 incher or two on top of to get a similar effect. We also have a vault table, I just prefer not to use that with the lower levels...
