It pains me to see gymnasts still piking on the preflight of vaults.
I always send them back to preflight drills. And dive rolls.
This skill is often well taught by boys coaches, neglected by those coaching girls.
I was surprised and happy to see a dedicated video released. Especially by such distinguished clinicians as Tammy Biggs and Judy Wills Cline.
The dive roll is one of the most basic skills in gymnastics. It is also very complex and difficult to perform well with a tremendous amount of amplitude.
Building Better Dive Rolls, will teach all the important elements necessary to help you do a great dive roll. Tammy and Judy cover everything from the run, hurdle, punch, body positions on take off, in the air and during the roll. They explain how these elements all interrelate and will improve your ability to perform other skills on tumbling, vaulting and beam.
The DVD includes demonstrations of great drills and the complete dive roll.
Gym Smarts provides a preview video clip.
