GymWatch.com (Gymbrooke) has a great page called:
Helpful Hints and Tips For All Gymnasts
It offers advice for gymnasts and parents on Floor, Beam, Bars, Conditioning and more.
For example, here is an excerpt from the backwalkover on beam page:
If there’s one skill on the beam that frustrates intermediate gymnasts the most, it has to be the back walkover. How many times in practice have you gotten your hands on the beam, only to realize you’re slightly off and end up having to bail out? Probably too many.
The first and most important thing to remember, whether you’re just starting to learn this skill, or if you’ve been doing it for a while, is that your alignment with the beam has to be perfect. There are no if’s, and’s, or but’s about it.
