In this video I talk about spotting rolling, handstands, cartwheels, limbers and back handsprings. This video is great for parents looking to spot their own kids or for gyms to use for training employees.

Amazing! This is so helpful for new coaches.
Thanks for watching, and glad you found it helpful.
As a parent of a youngster who did Gymnastics, I marveled at the professionality of the "amateur" trainers that spotted these kids, which aren't all as featherweight as Leana. Beautifully executed Leana!👏👏
As a clown/flying trapeze person that had to jump in to help the kids doing tumbling, this is SO helpful. Had no idea where to put arms for a back handspring spot.
Thanks for watching and I’m glad you found what you needed in this video 👍 it appears I need to make more spotting videos.
Thank you, your back handspring spotting tips are spot on. Now I can help my daughter safely and confidently at home.
I’m so glad to hear it helped 👍
I very much appreciate this video, I’m helping out with some gymnastic camps and I was put with the little children, so I needed to learn how to spot.
Right on, thanks for watching and glad I could help 👍 Hope the camp experience stays safe and awesome 😎
Thank you! I’m a dance studio owner and had to jump in spotting tumbling. This is gold!
Thanks so much!!!! I'm going to try and help my granddaughter who is far more athletic than I've ever been let alone at 62! I hope to practice this slowly with her until we're both more confident!!!
😊❤I love it 😊thank you. I want more videos like this. Bars and beam please ❤😊😊
Tried spotting my niece impromptu in the yard and I wasn't quite sure on the safest ways to help.
Can you help me do a back handspring?
Sure, what do you need me to do?
So here I am at your video and finding out I wasn't too far off.
Thank you for the great work, you and Leana. Amazing patience and poise from both of you.
I love this tutorial! It would be really helpful to see you spotting a kid who is older and larger. As a petite high school coach, I have several kids on JV who need help with these very beginner skills and most of them are bigger than I am in size. I am strong and confident spotting however, it would be helpful to see how these techniques work in that kind of dynamic. Thank you so much for this video!!
Can you give me a specific skill you are finding challenging to teach to a JV student? I am curious what progressions or steps you are using to teach?
@@thegymnasticsexperience1131 cartwheels and handstands have been a challenge... It's as if these kids just learned how to walk yesterday. We are doing a lot of basic blocking drills and doing the steps that you are teaching here however the kids are adult size vs. peewee size.
Well done

Absolutely great tips! Very empathetic to the athlete while being so observant and clear with how the body moves! Thank you for this video, you’re doing a great job!
Just 1 question, was wondering if you had experience spotting BHS for adults/teens who might be taller (and naturally, heavier), would your spotting change?
Since most of the spotting was done kneeling down (which I thought made sense to not get in the way of the athlete. ) However, might lack the ability to scale up the height of the spot and miss being able to let the legs handle some of the weight than merely the biceps & back.
I appreciate the support and feedback, thanks for watching. There are three ways of spotting a back handspring.
1: over the shoulder spot. This would be when the spotter is not strong enough to hold the athlete in their arms. Spotter kneels behind athlete and slightly to one side. If I am spotting with my left shoulder I would be on the right side of the athlete. Then I would use my left shoulder and left upper arm to support the athlete. This spot is kinda awkward because your back foot can get in the way of hands. However it’s a good method for spotting larger athletes.
2: the spot where the athlete pikes and is in the fall position. The spotter braces the lower back as upper legs. Think if you were going to pick someone up and hold them in your arms as they were laying horizontal to the ground. This spot can be done very easily and is my favorite way to spot athletes I don’t want to lift because the spotter is mostly bracing the positions and requires very little work.
3: traditional lower back up leg spot where the athlete either jumps to back handspring or tumbles into the back handspring. This spot places the hands or arms on the lower back and upper leg. It’s a decent spot but lacks control with larger athletes. You also have to commit to doing the skill
I personally teach back handsprings using 4 drills on a trampoline and it requires zero spot. I hate spotting back handsprings and will avoid spotting at all cost. I am very proficient in spotting but I see it as a poor use of time if it can be avoided.
👏 how about an aerial flip spotting?
It’s the same spot as a cartwheel.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
👍👍👍

There is a starting point for everyone. Whether you are 10 or 60, the starting point may look different but it’s still available.
