gymnastics injury prevention

JBS on Chalk Bucket forum started an important thread:

Top Injury Prevention Practices in Gymnastics Training :

We vault onto soft surfaces (resi) 100% during training
We use the JF vault table in our club because it has a more forgiving top
We use the “sweet spot” (air floor) during all floor take offs
We use tumble track for 50% of our tumbling training
We use the an extra suede beam pad
All of our optionals are required to vault with Tiger Paws

Log in to Chalk Bucket to add to the discussion.

… That’s the first gym I’ve heard to make Tiger Paws mandatory on Vault. Hmm …
