Tap Swing / Flyaway Work

Tap swings and flyaway timers are incredibly important for building long-term quality dismounts. It is our job to create an environment for our athletes to be successful and avoid any punitive turns and results. We cannot wrap children in bubble wrap and avoid all learning situations and risks, but we can minimize the risks through proper development.

Our goal is to create a habit that easily builds towards the overall action we desire. In this case, a quality lifter that has inversion leads the athlete to believe that they can naturally rotate off the bar by simply using their swing and release.

Thanks @lagoldgymnastics for this great work! And thanks @tumbltrak for the awesome training tool in the Pit Pillow! Great soft surface for the athletes to land on!

Hope this helps you and your athletes create their Best Darn Gymnastics!
