This will be their first exposure to vaulting and therefore the use of the run, run technique, and board technique will be mastered prior to attempting anything over the actual vault.  Our coaches will continue to progress the basic skills like:  front roll on beam, handstands on beam, hip pullovers, back hip circles on bars, bridge kick-overs, intro to back walkovers and back handsprings.
