Backward rolls in tuck with bent arms
How do you teach tucked backward rolls with bent arms to beginners?
description
As with forward rolls for forward movements, backward rolls form the basis of all backward transverse acrobatic skills.
They can be done with arms bent or straight, with different starts, and ending standing, in plank, or in handstand.
With beginners, we begin by teaching backward rolls with bent arms in tuck position.
Despite the simplicity of the movement, we need to be rigorous with our teaching. This is a foundational skill that will have implications when it comes to many gymnastics movements.
That's why, in this training course, we will study the technique of this backward roll with precision. We will see two variants for beginning a backward roll, plus how to position yourself and act to be able to get back up with a flexion-extension of the arms. In the teaching video, we will look at the prerequisites and their usefulness for the learning progression. To conclude, we will examine all of the different key drills for teaching this skill to beginner gymnasts.
Enjoy the training!
