Vault Pre-Flight Mechanics – Tumble Track Drill

A simple but highly effective drill to train the correct pre-flight line and block mechanics before contact with the table.

Focus points:
✔️ Correct pre-flight body shape
✔️ Aggressive shoulder reach into the table
✔️ Core tension and full-body alignment
✔️ Understanding and timing of the block/pop action

Great for reinforcing tight body position before and after the block and building awareness of efficient energy .
