Goal on this drill is to block and rebound before reaching vertical. You can see this athlete blocks and leaves her hands before vertical and hitting the mat. If the gymnast hits the mat prior to leaving the contact on their hands, they have missed their block by vertical and therefore are training for a flatter exit from the table.

Watch for open shoulder line and head between the shoulders. You also want to see the hips open through the block and end up very flat on the rebound to the mat.

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