My daughter is a level 7 (1st season) age 11. She has been doing her Yurchenko for a couple of seasons, but just recently (her coach thinks since her block) has started studder stepping. Surprisingly, she can still get some height off the Vault, but is landing almost with her feet under the fault. Her last competition scored an 8.2. Can anyone suggest some drills? Possibly a good link. I know they do drills at the gym, but I'd like to have some ideas for myself.
 
I would count her steps, then have her start on the springboard and run back down the runway the same number of steps with a hurdle cartwheel at the end.
I'd practice that reverse run until she lands at a consistent measurement, then try a run-by to see if her run is tight and the hands are lining up to the handpad.

This is what I did, but take with a grain of salt - my experience is 2 years of teaching these things and I only have a handful of flippers in the foam pit lol.

Beam deductions

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some help understanding my deductions on beam. I’ve been watching my videos back, but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly where the judges are taking the most off. If anyone is willing to take a look and give me some feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m especially curious about execution deductions, rhythm/connection issues, and anything in my acro or dance that might be costing me. The judge started me at a 10 for this routine, and I got a 9.1
