Coaches Kasamatsu vault

[gymisforeveryone]

One of my gymnasts wants to learn a kasamatsu vault. She has had tsuk and tsuk pike for years and wants to add some difficulty.

I have never coached this skill before so my understanding of the skill is based on watching Youtube videos. We have done all the drills that I have found and she does them very well. Today she tried twisting to the pit.

Here is a video:

She tries to twist but can't quite yet get all the way around. Any tips to make the twist more efficient? What about the timing? What are the verbal cues that you use to make your gymnast understand the skill better?

Thanks for help!

Work side flip for a few months with elbows above ears. Stay completely sideways (your vid didn’t work so I am assuming you have a lose foam pit for the side flip

We worked on the side flip first, but not that long though. We will get back to it! I PMed you the video password, if you still want to take a look.

Work it as a lot then use it as a drill during the lifetime of the skill .
