Six-Station Back Handspring Drill Circuit For Beginners

Carrie Moynihan explains a six-part circuit that Saint Louis Gym Centre uses to teach and reinforce proper technique on back handsprings. This group of level fours are new to learning the skill, and the emphasis of these drills is hurdling with the arms by the ears and landing with straight legs. Tight shapes are reinforced with spotting and the gymnasts are able to increase their speed and power as they get more comfortable with each drill.
