121006 - Learning spotters moves with children and teenagers including „forward somersault" and backwards just simply…“
Who doesn‘t like to somersault? Both elements (fwd. and bwd.) are great fun on the floor but only the right technique makes the jumpes safe. the backward somersault is technically a little easier than forward somersault. However, jumping backwards without turning round first is an important pre-skill. Some preliminary exercise are shown for this.
The forward somersault can gain height very quickly with the right technique and the right arm position alone, which is very often done incorrectly. In this workshop, both methods, which largely work without spotting and which quickly lead to success if practised frequently enough, will be shown.
