Backward rolls with straight arms
How do you teach the different backward rolls with straight arms to beginners?
description
In this training, we will be looking at two evolutions of the backward roll with bent arms: the backward roll with straight arms and bent legs, and the backward roll to handstand with straight arms to handstand.
The training on the backward roll with bent arms is of course a precursor to these two new elements in terms of both technique and teaching methods.
The work with straight arms brings a new dimension to these backward rolls. They help with learning a type of support that comes closer to the support required on uneven bars, particularly in backward giants.
This close relationship with the work on bars justifies the need to teach them to all gymnasts.
That is why in this training we will be looking at the technique of these backward rolls in minute detail. We will look at two new options for beginning the skill and how to act in order to get back up keeping the arms straight.
In the video on the skill progressions, we will spend a moment with the prerequisites, and we'll go through the different teaching stages to be able to teach these backward rolls to your gymnasts.
Enjoy the training!
