There are many flight element in gymnastics. Can you name some?

These flight element are often known as jumps but can also include leaps, turns, back flips and front flips.

The 3 jumps that we will concentrate on today are the stretch jump, a jump half turn and a tuck jump.

The first jump we are going to do is a stretch jump.

  • Start off in a standing pencil position reaching up to the roof
  • Swing your arms down so they are slightly behind your hips whilst slightly bending your knees
  • Head up and trunk facing forwards
  • Push off the floor and reach your arms up to the roof 
  • On the landing slightly bend your knees and keep your arms straight out in front of you.

Try this jump again incorporating these cues.

  • Keep your legs glued together 
  • Rotate your hips and shoulders the same way
  • Trying to keep your body aligned 

Start off wit the jump half turn and once you get confident you can try a jump full turn.
