Tap Swing conditioning
Short bodies with short limbs are not mechanically suited to do good Tap Swings. I find coaches spend too much time on this basic when it’s in a compulsory.

The 2nd ever caught — so far as I know — was Leo Lehtinen in 2024.
Leo competes for Finland.

BEFORE we let kids flip, it’s essential that they understand well how to move the centre of gravity AWAY from the Bar at the point of release.
Some call it “pitching out” the centre of gravity.
Flyaway not Flyclose.
