    Vault Line?

    Hi everyone! I was just wondering how many of you use some sort of line or mark on the vault runway to know when to hurdle. My teammates and I always had a velcro strip or tape marked around 10 feet and that was where we hurled for the spring board. However, at most meets we went to, we noticed...

    Vault & Lower Leg power training

    My level 5s are having trouble doing good vaults in competition and they are a bit hit and miss in training. The girls score highly on every other event and need to pick up vaulting for better overall results. 1. Drills/Strength to help improve leg power and run/hurdle speed. 2. When...

    level 8 vault scoring

    I thought I knew how this worked but now I'm not sure. My DD, 12 year old level 8, is telling me they average the 2 vault scores. I always thought they took the better of the 2. Does that change at L8 and higher? What if she has a vault that doesn't count?

    Vault help

    Hi Coaches, My dd is on pre-team but has been struggeling with vault for 7 years. I think I finally figured out why. When she punches off the springboard, she does so with bent legs. This gives her no power to vault. Her coach tells her to punch with straight legs, but she still doesn't. Since...

    Terrified of Vault

    I have fear issue's on all the events, but lately, vault has been REALLY bad. When I was in level 6, my vault was fine. I would easily do the front handspring, and score mid-9's. In level 7, I would still score very high at meets, but I would stand there for a LONG time before I go. I take a...

    Level 4 "high and Low" vault

    I hope I describe this correct. Level 4 vault - we have girls that "high" vault with an added matt on the stack matt and girls that low vault just the stack mat. There has been questions raised that the girls doing the low vault have it easier becuase it's lower and that is why a few score...

    Whoohoo! Vault.

    I just wanted to share with people who understand. So I posted earlier about how frustrated my dd was with vault brining down her AA scores as she was consistently in mid 8s. Well she's been working hard on it and just scored a 9.3. Sadly, I'm not at the meet because I'm out of town for work...

However, I recently started vaulting on the "2" setting and I've been having problems. I used to pike going over the 1 setting, but I eventually fixed it, and...

    Vault Judging (yet again)

    We hosted a meet this weekend and all went well but I'm still confused by the vault is judged for the women's USAG program. I try to train the front handspring vault as if the vaulter plans on flipping someday be it a front front or tsuk. I coach a short preflight for a higher vault that...

    level 5 vault for a shorty

    My 6 year old is preparing to be a level 5 next year, and the coach told me that her vault may be tricky due to her small stature. Any ideas about this, and ways mom can help her? Many thanks.

    Vault setting

    How do you determine what vault setting is right for you? The reason I ask is because my daughter currently vaults on one and it just looks like that setting is to low, also she is a good six - eight inches taller than the other girls vaulting on this setting. She is having troubles blocking and...
