USAG 2021–2029 J.O. program

Tom Koll posted a summary.

Sadly they still have the Bridge — Back kick-over on Floor for girls as young as age-5. Teaching bad form and bad technique to the vast majority of those kids.

  1. Can you elaborate on your comment about bad form/technique? Do you believe kids should be older before learning bridges / kick overs?

    1. I once videotaped 40 compulsory girls in a row doing that required element. Not one did it with good form or technique. Most used lower back — not upper back and shoulders — to do the forward limber.

      It also discourages less flexible girls from doing the sport.
