Coach Matt Sparks.

Of many, this is my favourite progression. It can be done on straps first. And the Bar later.

Lexy Ramler is AWESOME

Despite not having a team behind her, Lexy tied Kyla in the AA. Many at Championships (who don’t follow Minnesota) finally learned what all the hype was about.

straddle-on JUMP to handstand

For me this drill is essential. Kids are excited when they make their first one unspotted.

Within about 20 repetitions they make handstand without touching the feet — usually by accident.

Once straddle cast handstand is consistent we still need this drill to ensure they continue to use as much hip flexion as possible. That’s easier. And cleaner.

UGLY is cast handstand somewhere in-between straight body & straddle.
