Women What skill does this drill help?

[cbifoja]

The L7s and L8s did a new drill last night and since it was new, I was wondering if someone could clue me in to what it helps?

The girls stood on the high end of a wedge mat. They then did a standing back tuck and immediately went into a backward roll when they landed. At first I thought it was maybe to get more height on their standing BTs but that didn't seem to be it. Thoughts?

Seems like a beginner double tuck drill.

 

[cbifoja]

double tuck = double backs?
