Switch leap is definitely the first gymnastics leap that we want to teach our gymnasts.
But it's also an element that gives us access to dance series and more complex leaps such as the switch leap quarter or half turn or switch to ring.
It requires a number of dance and physical qualities that you need to learn to coordinate.
Which makes it a key element in the large family of dance elements.
To help you teach this element, we have a technical analysis where we'll examine: basic posture, the qualities of passive and dynamic flexibility, the coordination of the lower and upper limbs and the different actions to execute.
Together, this information will help you give precise and effective instructions but also, useful corrections when you encounter different problems.
In the video on prerequisites, you'll learn the 4 essential elements for determining whether your gymnasts are ready to begin learning it, when it comes to both technique and physical qualities.
Finally, in the last section, we'll give you all the exercises needed to teach this element.
We will tackle each stage with specific objectives and guidelines.
We hope you enjoy the training.
