THE NEEDLE KICK!MUST HAVE ONE!

It is the most important shape to have to turn over everything!


WAYS TO TRAIN THE NEEDLE SHAPE!

Needle kicks are done on every event! Static with holds and pulls, ballistic in a

row, with tubing, with weights. You should see the needle turn over skills.

If you do not see needle you will see the chest down and the body bent in half. Not good!

It turns over cartwheels, round offs, handsprings, and all aerials skills!

Use the slider for all kicking skills and you


FLAT HIPS IN ALL BASICS SKILLS!

Use sliders: on knees slide out to flat hips and pull back up.

Side cartwheel to handstand and hold with flat hips. Do against a wall so they can touch their hips.

Then go square to center flat hip hold and square landing.

Do glide shape with sliders, use wedge mat at bars and train the long shape to pike legs into bar.

Handstand in a split (middle of back walkover and back handspring) and step down with hips


SIDE CARTWHEEL TO HOLD!


HANDSTAND STEP DOWN WITH FLAT HIPS


The Chest ROLL ! From knee on an 8 inch mat do a chest roll! Then from a stand on 8 inch mat do a chest

roll! Now from knee do a front handspring to

high releve and chest roll. Never do from a stand! Only from knee!

With bands on do fly springs across the tumble track in a row!

Front limber up to one and two panel mats! Walk up bridge on mats between the bars

and stand up!


KNEE CHEST ROLL!


STRAIGHT BODY ROLL!


FRONT LIMBER TO CHEST ROLL!


FRONT HANDSPRING TO CHEST ROLL!


CANDLE STICK! Against the wall or mats! Shoot to candle up the wall! Candle pull off the wall. Shoot up to candle and snap off the wall! On landing mats from pike shape shoot to

candle, travel, and hold in candle at the end! Candle shoot to bridge! Jump to resi mats to a candle and pull a pike! Jump onto a barrel to candle and pull a pike

and layout step out. Swing to candle off bars for a dismount , pac,

and shoot over!


SQUAT STAND UPS AND HOPS!

Across the floor do squat hops. Plain, with one mat and then with two!

Stand up sit down: two leg, one leg on each side! Do on floor and beam!

Candle stick stand ups to hop, then do on one and two panel mats!


STRAIGHT LEG PUNCHES! Across the floor! Forward, sideward, and

backward. Off of the beam! Punches, handstand

punch, back walkover punch, cartwheel punch, back handspring, and round off.

Punch drills off the board! Over panel mats punches!


ONE LEG DRILLS!HALF OF OUR GYMNASTIC SKILLS

ARE DONE FROM ONE FOOT! One leg stand up and sit down. One leg hops with leg straight and with leg

up onto a mat as hop out of bottom foot. Stand ups onto blocks with one foot. Then

hop and last hop and kick. Candle stick hop ups without panel and

with panel mat. Straight leg skips on floor and beam! One hops: straight and bent.


TUCK JUMPS ONTO MATS!• Do tuck jumps up onto mats hip or rib

high.• Do forward from stand and straighten when

arrive on the mat.• This is done forward and backward.• The hips should rise in this drill then shape

the tuck.


LONG PUSH UP SHAPE! Do on ground, between mats, between

boards Do with walks, hops and sliders. Pull in the

push up shape, start in pike and walk out to push up and them pull the legs back into pike.

Do with skills: handstand, cartwheels, round offs, back walkovers and back handsprings. So the gymnast does a snap into and long push up shape on a 8 inch


SNAP UNDER DRILLS! Start with a handstand and pike down. Then use sliders and slide through arms to

go to long shape On 8 inch mat do a straight body fall back Round off to back on 8 inch mat. Using two panel mats on top of an 8 inch

mat go handstand pick down and through arms.


STRAIGHT BODY FALL BACK!LEAD UP TO SCOOP THROUGH!


ANOTHER DRILL FOR THE SCOOP!


THEN GO FROM HANDSTAND!


CARTWHELL TO FALL BACK!


ROUND OFF TO BACK!


A LUNGE IS ONLY TO FINISH SKILLS!

TO MUCH LUNGING DESTROYS BEAM TUMBLING!

To much lunging make the gymnast buckle on beam, floor and vault!

They must know how to step and snap down out of skills with straight legs. Which is not being done enough!

Do handstand step down on one foot flat and on toe! The hips should be square and flat so the back leg is low not high!

Then it turns into punching straight leg on toe!


HOW THE LUNGE CAUSES SKILLS TO BUCKLE!


BASIC SKILLS BETWEEN MATS AND UP ONTO MATS!

Do cartwheel, back walkover, and front walkover between mats!

Do all the root skills up onto panel mats or 8 inch mat.

Do all skills one arm! Then take the one arm up onto mats! Then the root skills go over panel mats.

Walkovers, cartwheel, round off and back handsprings.

All skills also go to a handstand with legs together then in a split that fits the skill.


SIDE CARTWHEEL BETWEEN MATS!


SQUARE CARTWHEEL BETWEEN MATS!


WALKOVERS BETWEEN MATS!


A CORRECT BRIDGE! A bridge is with the heel under hips! Not

straight out in front! There should be basic use of a bridge done

right: push up into a bridge, walk and hop in a bridge, back bend and up (two and one leg) and tick tock.

If a gymnast can not do these (not a lot just one right!) the basic skill will be messed up!
