Back Layout Drills
A while ago I had a coach request drills for Back Layouts. I finally got around to videoing them!
These drills all deal with body position. I start these drills with Level 4s so that by the time they “need” the layout it is there.
- Fall to Back on flat surface (not on video)
- Fall to back with feet elevated
- Jump to 1/4 gainer to back
- Continue to raise surface on 1/4 gainer. (not on video)
- Into Pit, fall back to back layout.

Tkatchev Progression
Owen Field recently posted a very good tkatchev progression. I like this video because it focuses on 1 athlete and you can see each step. EVEN when she struggles.

Blind Change Drill 2
Steve Arkell from Gymnastics Plus in Panama City Florida shares a great drill for Blind Changes.
What you can’t see in the video is that the gymnast has a rolled up wash cloth between her shoulder and ear of her post arm.
Keep the MOMENTUM going by sharing you drills with us!
Blind Change Drill
Here is the first of many drills I was able to capture at Gym Momentum Camp. It is a great drill using the Level 4 vault mat for those gyms with out a trench bar or a pile of spotting blocks. (Mancino Tower Block). I will be posting the rest of the videos over the next few months. YES, there are that many great drills that it will take me a few months to get them all online.
