“Shoulders in your ears!” 👂

When the handstand position isn’t right, the block won’t be either.

During this handstand flat back vault drill, Coach noticed she wasn’t opening through her shoulders enough, which was keeping her from getting the block she needed.

So they stopped, paused in the handstand, and worked on the cue “shoulders in your ears.”

Then she tried it again—and there it was. 👏

Sometimes fixing the next part of a skill means going back and correcting the position that comes before it.

It’s all about the SHAPE 👏

In this beginner gymnastics bar drill, we’re working from front support to hollow front support while maintaining pressure through the bar.

✨ Push down through straight arms
✨ Shrug tall through the shoulders
✨ Keep a strong hollow body position
✨ No arching or letting the belly rest on the bar

Learning to maintain that hollow shape and bar pressure builds the body control gymnasts need as they progress to bigger bar skills! 🤸‍♀️

DRILL ➡️ SKILL 🤸‍♀️

Before the handstand flat back happens on the vault, we’re building the technique on the tumble track!

Those chalk lines give our gymnasts clear targets—the first for their knees and the second for their hands—while they work on proper body position, timing, and a strong block through the shoulders before landing flat on the mat.

Breaking down the skill first helps build stronger, more confident vaults. 💪

Building strong beginner bar skills one drill at a time 🤸‍♀️

When learning a glide on bars, one of the biggest things we work on is keeping straight legs and holding the correct body position as they glide back.

Coach is helping her feel that position while the foam blocks give her a target to knock over with her toes. This beginner gymnastics drill encourages her to reach forward through her toes instead of throwing her head back.

These little corrections now help build the body control and technique she’ll need for more advanced gymnastics bar skills later. 👏

DRILL ➡️ SKILL 🤸‍♀️

She already had the round-off back handspring onto the vault—but now we’re working on making it longer and stronger. 👏

Instead of going straight up and down in her back handspring, this Tumbl Trak drill helps her feel what it’s like to reach back and stretch the skill out, creating more backward travel.

Coach helps guide her legs over while she focuses on reaching back and finding that longer shape—and then we take that same feeling to the vault. 🔥

Sometimes it’s not about learning a new skill. It’s about using the right drill to make the skill you already have even better!
