New Skills Galore!

The weeks after the end of the season are so much fun for Boo! She is loving all the new skills she is learning. She’s working on front and back tucks and is starting to add those to her tumbling passes (round-off, back handspring, back tuck and front handspring, front tuck). She’s doing the combinations on the tumble track and onto a resi mat (not ready for the floor just yet) and is have a great time with it.

Boo has also been working some more on her giants on the strap bar. Yesterday, she was able to do 8 giants without stopping (she was going around sooo fast)! She also is getting to where she can do a giant with only one tap swing to start. The next step is to be able to cast straight into a giant and then to do them without the straps.

She tried doing her clear hip on the regular bars the other day but that turned out to be a little tricky. It’s hard to get the timing just right without the straps to help hold her on the bar. She’s still doing well with them on the strap bar so it’s just going to take a little more time and practice. Luckily, it’s all great fun for Boo!
