    Parents Level 8 vault starting values

    I'm just a gym parent and not a coach or a judge by any stretch of the imagination. But I do try to keep up with what is required so I have some semblance of understanding of the scoring at meets and where my kid might end up next year. I was under the impression that for DP level 8 you...

    Women Vault table Level 5 2022 height

    I saw a lot of old posts about minimum vault table height for Level 5 but nothing updated. My daughter is 9, short, super petite. She is now vaulting with a practice squad of girls who are 11+ and is having trouble getting over the table. She says the table is too high and her coach won’t lower...

    Women Hey, I have a fear of vault. Any tips?

    I’ve always hated vault. Beam is grace, floor is art, bars is flowy. Vault doesent fit in! I always stutter step and recently I had a bad accident on vault where my hand slipped. The thing is i always stutter step so I can’t get enough power. I get scared that I’ll miss the board on my hurtle...

    Women Vault Scoring: Average or best of two?

    My daughter is in Level 4 this year and I had always thought vault was scored as the best of two but her coach now thinks that they have been scored as the average of the two vaults all year. I'm curious if this rule has changed or if it is discretionary/varies by state? Also, if it is the...

    Anon Help with FHS Front Tuck Vault

    Are there any coaches who would be willing to have me send you videos of my dd’s FHS Front vault, and provide feedback? We are going on 2 years of working this vault in the gym, and I feel like she could use a new perspective in order to successfully land this vault on a hard surface. Thank you...

    Parents Vault troubles

    So my level 3 dd majorly struggled all season on vault. She was so amazing on every other event, 36-37+ AA all season despite going low to mid 8s most of the time on vault. Was told mid season she needed to improve to be able to move up. We even added some vault specific privates to try to help...

    Parents Level 8 vault

    My daughter can’t flip fast enough to land her level 8 vault. The coach said their is a front handspring that has some sort of twist that also has a 10.0 SV but I can’t find this online. Does anyone have a video they can share of this vault?

    Parents Level 7 Vault Scores

    Hello, First time posting here. Our daughter is doing pretty well in L7 but no matter what she does in a meet her vault score is almost always between 8.6 and 8.8.

    Women Vault running drills (studder step)

    My daughter is a level 7 (1st season) age 11. She has been doing her Yurchenko for a couple of seasons, but just recently (her coach thinks since her block) has started studder stepping. Surprisingly, she can still get some height off the Vault, but is landing almost with her feet under the...

    NCAA College Vaulting, the difference-maker

    What is becoming apparent to me this season, in my humble opinion, is how much the vaulting rotation is impacting the teams in their ability to win and potential national championship aspirations. Teams that hope to compete for a title better have 5 or preferably 6 competitive 10.0 SV vaults...

    Women Handspring Vault head alignment

    I am having trouble keeping my head in between my arms on my front handspring vault. My head always sticks out when I hit the table and then I have to try to pull my head in real fast. My coach says I should look at my hands but that just makes my head go out more. Any tips on where I should...

    Coaches Handspring Vault Help

    Hi! I am an Xcel Gold vault coach looking for help with our front handspring vaults. Our girls have nice heel drives, good form in handstand, and get some decent distance from the table, but tend to score poorly and we don't know what to do. My guess based on listening to the judges at the...

    Coaches Arm swing in vault

    Adult gymnast here. I've been training a little bit of vaulting and I'm currently working on front handsprings. However before changing gym I did not receive many corrections on my technique. The new coach noticed that I was approaching the vault more like if I were on floor, with my arms...

    Women Inconsistent Excel Gold Vault

    So I am an Excel Gold gymnast and for some reason or not I have an inconsistent vault. We do front handsprings or a half on. My half on is actually pretty good and I am not worried about that, its just that my front handspring is not the best. I am just not understanding the concept of it I...

    Hi fellow coaches, this is my first full year coaching Xcel and I have some questions about teaching twisting vaults for Xcel Platinum and Diamond. The other coaches at my gym don't have experience coaching these vaults either, so I've come here looking for some more information at the very...
