Pak Salto progressions

Most gymnasts who can already do Flyaway, will tend to over-rotate.

These drills emphasizing under-rotation from the start.

Do as many progressions without spot as possible. Some gymnasts have trouble doing the final skill without the spotter — especially those who tend to over-rotate. They fear hitting feet on the high rail.

Coach Jeremy Mosier considered introducing Pak before Flyaway with beginners. I believe that would work.

Giant upswing shape

At a recent competition I noted that 80% or more of gymnasts still cross the vertical handstand line of giants with their hips, not feet.

That’s an error.

80% or more of gymnasts need to do more drills like this.
