Vault

Typically, gymnasts compete two vaults, each getting its own score. Whichever score is the highest is the score that counts. Scores are given out of a 10.0 and tenths (0.1) are taken off for each deduction, or mistake, you make. These deductions could include bent knees, low amplitude, steps on the landing, and much more. In college, however, six people on a team each compete one vault and the five top scores count towards the team score.

Here are three videos from this past year. The first video, “front handspring pike half,” is the vault I am currently training. The next two videos are from last years season. The second video I scored a 9.45 and the third video I scored a 9.6.

To view the videos, click on the title of the video below the black screen. A link should show up on the screen. Click the link and it should open the video in your website tab. To go back afterward, click the go back button on your web browser.
