==== UPDATE: Some coaches feel this kind of drill is dangerous. (See the comments.) Certainly they could be for very inexperienced kids.
But today at camp I assessed a summer camp group of various ability levels. All handled skipping assignments easily. The youngest did them on the low beam.
No problem.
