description
In this training we'll be showing you how to teach your gymnasts a handspring tuck front.
In the technical analysis, from the last step of the run-up up to the landing after the salto, we'll be examining the details of each important part of the skill.
The video on prerequisites will detail the skills and the points to observe to help you determine if your gymnasts have the capacity to take on this vault.
Then move on to the teaching section. In this video, first of all, you'll find out how to tackle the acrobatic skill of the second flight. After that, you can explore various teaching set-ups and the associated drills to acquire this skill.
Finally, in the video on spotting, we'll go through 6 techniques to support your gymnasts from the first learning exercises right up to performance of the actual vault in a competition set-up.
As always with our training, we have done our best to make the content of our courses as accessible as possible, with the use of graphics, multiple camera angles and of course, the detail of our audio content. We hope that you will really enjoy exploring it and, most importantly, that it will give you multiple solutions to use in training.
Happy learning!
