Does anyone have experience training or coaching the full in? My DD is training it now seriously with the hopes of getting it on floor by March for season and had been struggling.

This is great. Thank you! Currently she is working on the second stage that you mentioned, high full to land on back as well as working into the pit. When she does them into the pit she still gets a bit lost on it on the air. This is very helpful!So I generally favor a full-out or a half-half over a full-in, because the landing is much easier and the takeoff is less likely to be rushed. That said, here's how I'd go about a full-in:
First thing's first: if she doesn't have a way to tumble into a pit, she shouldn't train a full-in. It's not worth the risk without a pit.
Anyway, she should be able to do an open tucked double back with ease. That is, double back without grabbing the knees, hips bent at 90 degrees or less. She should be able to spot the ground at the end of both flips.
Second, a big high full to land on the back on a stack of mats, the higher the better. The goal is that she should still be rising when she finishes the full.
Third, go for it. Into a pit, then onto a mat in the pit, then onto a higher stiffer mat in the pit, etc.
Well, getting lost in the air is why I tend to shy away from full-ins in favor a full-outs or half-halfs. On a full out or half-half, you can see the ground for the entire second flip; in a full-in, you can see it for the entire first flip (in theory), but then you lose it for much of the second flip. Were I her coach, there's a strong chance I'd want to abandon the full-in in favor of a half-half.This is great. Thank you!
