"Easy Drills for Twisting Skills" is a FUNdamental progression system that
coaches can use to teach twisting skills in their recreational classes. Almost all of the
drills are appropriate for and could be performed by 6-year-old beginning gymnasts
up through adults. This is a comprehensive list of drills to be performed at various
stations: floor exercise, mat stations, and trampoline. This system has proven very
effective but is by no means the "end-all" list of possible progressions. If you have
any other drills that you have used that have worked well, please contact me so I
can add your suggestion to this list.
