How to teach this complex tumbling element
The round-off on floor is an indispensable element for anyone who wants to do backward tumbling skills on floor.
But it is also one of the elements that allow you to do dismounts from beam and Yurchenkos on vault.
We've taken care to bring you each part of this element in minute detail. That way, you can offer your gymnasts multiple exercises to break it down as much as possible and limit most of the compensations that can appear.
We have also chosen to bring you a complete set of drills on the connection between round-off and flic-flac.
As always, you will find a selection of videos in this training that will allow you to explore this skill from all angles.
A tip from us: if you look at the tutorials on cartwheel and back handspring from standing, you will have a great range of exercises to use in training. You'll acquire an effective approach that will help to limit the problems that can crop up in future tumbling skills!
