Coaches floor skills? level 5, 6, 7, 8, etc...

[amberdezi]

okay, i only coach "lower levels", so i get kind of confused when i think about which floor skills are harder than others...if you are a high level gymnast, or were one, can you make a list for me that says which order you typically learn your floor tumbling in, and what level that skill is?

for example:

1 roundoff BHS - level 4
2 roundoff BHS back tuck - level 5
3 roundoff BHS back pike - level __
4 roundoff BHS back layout - level __
etc...

some skills i would really like for you to list (in order) are roundoff BHS:
-half, full, and double twists
-single and double arabians
-double back and front tucks, pikes, and layouts
-etc...

thank you guys sooo much!

USAG routines include the following tumbling skills. (I'm leaving out acro type skills. If you want to know those, I can list them too.)

Level 4: RO BHS

Level 5: RO BHS BHS
Front Handspring

Level 6: RO BHS Back tuck
front handspring step out, front handspring
front tuck

As Level 7 and up are optional levels, tumbling varies.

Most L7s do something like (at least in Florida): RO BHS layout (or 1/2 or full)
front handspring front tuck OR front handspring front pike OR front tuck front tuck
They may finish with an easier pass like a RO BHS BT.

Level 8 includes skills such as: RO BHS 1/1
front handspring front layout or running front layout
front tuck step out connected to something (RO BHS layout, RO BHS full)

At level 9 and 10, anything goes.
Double twist is usually 9 or above, as are most front twisting skills.
Single Arabian is usually 9 or above, although it is a "B" and could be done in Level 8.
Double Arabian-10 or elite
Double Back- 9 or above. Often level 9s with do double back tuck, and may build up to a double back pike for 10.
