Standing Back Tucks on Beam

[Jamie]

Hi All,

My girls are currently working on standing back tucks on beam. One of the girls is completely on line but the only thing is she's missing a slight bit of rotation that I have to give her a little lift for, other than that it'd be perfect! Does anyone have any tips or advice for standing tucks on beam?

Our girls practice them on the floor but land up on a slightly higher panel mat, that way when they go on beam they have plenty of height.

Tucks up to a panel mat from a line or "French fry" floor beam. Make sure her chest is up and she is not bending forward at the hips.
