Who has ever tried to teach children how to jump on a springboard? Who has almost despaired? That‘s right, we‘ve all been there. Two-legged jump on the board, only running over it… All the variations can be seen - but not the right one. Once you start explaining, it‘s all over. Here, very small tips and tricks with a very big effect are shown, how the children learn the jump on the springboard „as if themselves“, at the same time strengh training for all support jumps are included in the programme and the preparation of the correct landing position after jumps and dismounts. In addition, some preparatory exercises are shown that are „real“ pre-exercises. And we finally put an end to „the hot hob“ because that‘s wrong. And then there‘s an amazing bet: the instructor bets that all participants will do a squat turn over the gymnastics bench (yes, the squat turn that everyone knows) incorrectly!!! But of course he also shows how a simple trick can turn the squat turn into a very effective pre-exercise for the support jumps. We promise: it will be very exciting! This is the first part.
