Once she is bored and has a perfect layout then I recommend to start twisting a half and once mastered then try to full. Progressing too quickly is a very easy way to gain a mental block so there should be no rush. For the standing tuck tell her to push through her toes and leg muscles, make sure she is getting a full swing, and I recommend grabbing your legs under to pull when first learning. A punch front is less of a deal in my opinion and is a skill that many bust at first and then progress. But a full should absolutely not just be went for without progression. A full is a skill that just had to click and with hard work and dedication she will have it in no time.Hi All,
I could use some advice. I have a daughter that just turned 6, and has been tumbling for not quite a year and a half. She has a very solid ROBHS tuck and ROBHS layout...and a standing tuck that is still inconsistent--some days she can hit 10 for 10 and other days she struggles on the floor and has to move to the tumble trak.. CP is now starting to work on a full, also a front punch. The struggle is working on these skills with the patience of a girl newly turned 6.
Can others share their experience with:
-How long to get a full after you have a solid layout? How about from landing a punch front on the TT to moving to the floor?
-How have other parents managed the expectations and frustration of very young athletes as they work on more difficult skills that may take longer?
Posting in parents section as well...
It goes to strength in the core and muscles that support the leg joints and rotational technique, the ability to "save" a twist that goes awry rather than tear an ACL. Plus a little bit more experience and technique under their belt. The full is a much riskier skill in terms of catastrophic injury, so they want them to be as ready as possible. If they are piking the layout landing on the floor AT ALL or cannot consistently rotate froward and backward without landing properly and not stressing the knees, the risk of injury throwing a full increases dramatically.Thank you for your response--can I ask why the punch front and standing tuck before the full--the layout I get... (This is not me arguing a point, just asking as someone with no cheer background.) Thanks again.
I would be careful handing out negative ratings, people take them very seriously around here.
Yes to the pink font.She needs to careful when she does her BHS that she doesn't bend her arms so much, she should be pushing through her shoulders not the arms. My cp progresses at a regular rate even after being a TOPS gymnast so I have no suggestions for the fact she's getting bored.
