Kasamatsu progressions
Here’s another very well edited tutorial from the Saving Tenths YouTube channel.
I’ll add a couple of additional points for KAS:
- it’s important that coaches of BEGINNERS understand the relationship between cartwheel (early) and twisting (later). If one decides the direction of cartwheel — then later decides a different direction of twist, this particular vault is going to be difficult or impossible.
- cartwheel with the right hand forward requires a right twist in all saltos
- cartwheel with the left hand forward requires a left twist in all saltos
- I like to post a chart on the wall where all coaches know cartwheel hand and twist direction of every competitive athlete in the program
- ideally I’d like to do all the progressions in this video — but in the layout position first into the pit. Use the tuck position only if needed for competition that season. Layout is the goal. I’d go back to layout as soon as season ends.

Commonwealth Games – podium protests permitted
- Medallists can show support for Black Lives Matter and LGBT+
- Protests subject to guidelines as hate gestures are forbidden
The 4,500 athletes expected in Birmingham this summer will also be permitted to wear clothing, armbands and badges on the podium to support social justice causes under radical new “guiding principles” for athlete advocacy due to be announced on Tuesday. …
Guardian
I’d call this radical — but progress. Homosexuality is still illegal in 36 of the 72 nations that will compete in Birmingham, for example. That should change sooner than later.
