training layout over the Vault table

Many of the best coaches in the world like this drill.

And many do backward layout for Yurchenko.

Personally I’ve never used it. I’m not as much worried about safety of the athlete as a the technical problem of encouraging too high preflight.

I prefer progressions that encourage gymnasts to touch the table as quickly as possible. Low preflight drills.
