Yurchenko progressions

Starting from a low Beam to ensure the beginner uses normal tumbling hand position — not overturning the hands too soon.

Seems to me the twist is being introduced a little too soon in this sequence.

improving Bwd Handsprings

I really like these progressions for gymnasts already competent to do a series of 5 backward handsprings on a tumbling trampoline.

They are not for beginners.

Bars – Porcupine Bar Pad

This soft bristled pad gives feedback to gymnasts to help them feel confident while maximizing their stretch, swing, and tap to learn spatial awareness and proper technique.

Tumbl Trak

Brett Wargo pitched an idea to Tumbl Trak.

While improving long swings, gymnasts can tell how close their feet are to the Bar by the tactile feel of the bristles.

If you are on Facebook, you can watch a video on how it works here.
