Balance Beam

 

The balance beam is an artistic gymnastics apparatus, as well as the event performed using theapparatus. Both the apparatus and the event are sometimes simply referred to as "beam".

 
Vault

A solid apparatus similar to the pommel horse, but lacking handles, and used in men's and women's artistic gymnastics for a variety of handsprings from a running approach.

 Floor

Event in gymnastics competition consisting of various ballet and tumbling movements (including jumps, somersaults, and handstands) performed without apparatus. Women's routines are performed with musical accompaniment, men's routines without it.

 

Basic Skills - Cartwheel

Cartwheel

• Start with cartwheels over a panel mat. Just having the gymast stand straddled over the mat, place their hands on the mat, then jumping from foot to foot helps get a start.
• (For left cartwheel). The gymnast should stand perpendicular to the mat with their left foot touching the right end of the mat. Then reach forward place their left hand on the close side of the mat kick their right leg as they place their right hand on the far side of the mat then landing on their right leg on the far side of the mat.

Basic Skills - The Backwards Roll

The Backwards Roll

• The backwards roll is all about pushing with the arms. A very common error is to roll over one side of the head.
• The gymnast must place their hands flat on the floor fingers towards their shoulders as they roll back.
• A good drill to establish this is to have the gymnast roll back place their hands flat on the floor by their head and roll back to a stand
• Doing backwards rolls down an incline mat will help develop a feel.
• Be sure to encourage the gymnasts to land on their feet and not their knees. It's an easy thing to fix early, much harder if it gets to be habit.

Competitive Training Students

Please see some ballet feet and arm positions for your kids to practice at home, yes the boys can do them too

Also see straddle press to handstand drills, which we would start to do some more of as it is one of the foundational skills that all the kids need which requires a combination of strength, flexibility and coordination.
