    vault scores

    vault board settings

    I was taught with the new vaulting table to have the board placed at 1.5-2 ft for front handsprings. Another coach today told me they thought that was too close and makes the gymnast unable to get a full stretch before their vault. What settings does anyone recommend?? help

    Vaulting to feet

    I coach 8 and 9 year olds who have been learning to vault to their feet this year and it isn't going so hot. 3 can get over to their feet and 1 still has sketchy vaulting to her back. I am looking for any drills or key things you might say to imrpove: - popping or shoulder block - not arching...

    I posted in here last week about dd's high school vault and the start values of different vaults, including a question about a particular vault that I was unfamiliar with. Thanks to those who helped me out. Just an update: dd competed this past weekend her 'very powerful' handspring-full...

    Boys Level 4 Vault Analysis?

    I've received some really good feedback from some of you on other videos I've posted, so I thought I'd push my luck and try again. The level 4 vault is seemingly the most simple event of them all, but apparently there's more to it than meets the eye. If anybody feels they are familiar enough...

    level four vault

    Wow, I feel as if I have been asking questions like crazy lately, but you guys are all incredibly helpful! Anyway, I have started working on my level four vault, and I am not coming up into a full vertical in my handstand, and end up piking the vault, which I know will cause me nothing but a...

    level 7 vault

    Hi there. Is the level 7 vault judged the same as a level 6 or 5? If a gymnast consitently gets 9's as a 6 can she expect to get 9's as a 7 as well? Thanks.

    Another vault question

    On a handspring, where do you put your hands on the vault? I assumed that it'd be around half way, and was taught that, but a coach in my gym tells us to put them on the very very end :S i don't know whether that's right or not - i'd never usually question what a coach tells me to do but...

    Vault question

    Just a random question, why don't gymnasts use the old rectangular vault anymore? Everyone uses the table instead of the skinny one? Any reason?

    Help with Front Handspring Vault

    I have a good run up and a perfect form handstand on the vault, I just can't seem to get over. The coaches at my gym say I need to reach farther up on the vault. I've tried moving the springboard and mini tramp back a bit, and I've tried picking a spot on the vault, or just beyond it, and...

    Use of Both Vaults?

    I noticed in this video of the 2001 US National finals, in the background [especially at 32 seconds] you can see that there are both types of vaults, the old one and the new one. Were the gymnasts given the option to compete whichever type of vault they wanted? I know that in 2001 the type of...
