Australia 2007 – beginner tumbling

Rick McCharles recommends that coaches concentrate on perfecting just a few basic skills: handstand, forward and backward handspring, forward and backward somersault and (the difficult one) round-off.

Rick uses trampoline devices to help beginners generate power. And places a sponge between the feet and / or knees of the athletes as a reminder to keep “tight”.
