Coaches Not Vault in Rec Gym

[TXgymCOACH]

I teach the highest level rec class right now which is working on level 3,4, & 5 skills. We don't have anything more than vaulting mats in the rec gym. A few of them really need to be working on front hand springs. What can I do to get them ready for that with just mats?

Also, where can i find a list of fun conditioning skills for this class?

If you have enough safety mats and fold-ups.........Make a stack of mats at the height of the vault table and have the kids do a handspring vault onto the mat stack and landing on their backs. If the stack is too squishy you can put a thin mat under the top safety mat.

We have the 32" level 4 mat and a couple of 8" mats.

You can turn the L4 mat sideways and have them FHS over that.

punch front layouts off a springboard.

i generally start this with 3/4 layouts to back off a board and sort of a stretch jump into forward roll on a mat stack roughly shoulder to head height.
