<h1>
THE SKILLS AND DRILLS PAGE</h1></center>
The skills page is intended to be a forum for gymnasts, coaches, or anyone
who just wants to learn about gymnastics skills. It was created because
I noticed a lack of this kind of information on the net. If you are a gymnast
it is not intended to replace your coaches techniques. It is just to give
different viewpoints and ideas on how to learn a skill. Every gymnast learns
skills differently. This is a place you can submit and find different techniques
and methods to learn various gymnastics skills. This is <b>NOT</b> intended
to teach anyone gymnastics in an uncontrolled environment. Many of the
skills discussed could be extremely hazardous if done incorrectly. Please
only work these drills under a qualified coaches direction. Many of these
skills involve flight, inversion, and unusual positions, any of which could
result in serious injury, paralysis, or death. With that said. Please enjoy.
