SPOTTING giants to flyaway

At a coaching clinic we practiced different ways to spot giants to flyaway. For beginners I like having one spotter on the ground, one up high.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Coaches tried different stances, different hand positions. The gymnast was asked simply to ‘keep tight’.

The 3/4 flyaway is to encourage beginners to “float” the dismount. AND to prevent kids from getting their toes close to the bar.

That’s Okanagan Gymnastics Centre in BC.
