    Vault help!

    This may be futile, but I'll try anyway. :) My level 7 dd is struggling with vault. She's really frustrated because it's her worst event and she can't figure out how to improve it. She thinks it's been disintegrating. I disagree. I think she's been scoring lower in 7 than 6 just because...

    My daughter is still "pike" on her vault

    My daughter (level 2) is still what the coach calls "pike" on her vault. Presently, she is landing on mats and I guess she cannot progress to full handspring (without the mats) until she is no longer pike. Can anyone help? Is there something that would help her? I appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

    Prayers for vault!

    Hey. :) Well, I'm a level 8 and I have to compete yurchenko tuck, but now I can't even do a handspring. :p I need to get it by next week though, 'cause my coach said he'll send me back to level 4...so prayers and the vault fairy are much needed!

    How do you choose which vault to train?

    I have one gymnast who has a nice pike tsuk, but she recently started working front fronts. They are ok, not great. But what is the point of switching? I'm wondering how you go about choosing a vault to train? What criteria is used? Also, I wanted to post this in the coaches forum, but...

    Coach vault contradiction

    Coach A says to put my arms up when I hit the board and Coach B says that I should hit the board with my arms down. Who should I listen to?

    Tsuk Vaults?

    I was wondering how to successfully through a tsuk vault. I've practiced many times doing a 1/4 or 1/2 on then pushing off onto a mat, but I've never tried to flip on the real vault. At my old gym I used to do a lot of tsuks into the pit, but I'd always end up on my knees (this was in level 5)...

    Zi/O composite leather vault table

    Should you ever use chalk on a ZZi/O composite leather vault table or will the chalk just make it slippery & defeat the purpose of it? And how far away from the wall should the table be on the sides?

    What is an arm circle for vault?

    Single arm circle backward during the hurdle phase. Arms should be forward on contact. I think that you'll generally see some version of this, however small, but some of the best vaulters do more of a back/forward swing - or a very fast, small arm circle.

    I have a serious vault mental block.

    HI. :) I'm trying to go into level 8 by next year, and I thought I had all my skills. I used to be able to do yurchenko tucks with spot and now I can't even do a handspring. Every time I go up to the vault I somehow stop myself and crash. Does anyone have any tips to help me to just go??

    vault

    I have been having a lot of trouble on vault lately. I have this fear problem on every event, and my coaches have really helped me get over it but, I am still really scared on vault. My vault is a simple front handspring. I am about 5, 2" and my board is practically a foot away from the vault...
