Sequence of movements
Floor and apparatus gymnastics
The participants demonstrate a defined (or self-selected) sequence of movements to the sports leader (the group). The movements are practised by the participants beforehand.
Example of a possible combination:
- Forward roll
- Jump roll from standing position
- Stand balance
- Stretch jump with half turn
- Backward roll
- Handstand with roll-off
6-8 soft mats (small)
Straddle jump
Floor and apparatus gymnastics






Frontal run-up onto the mini trampoline (from the long bench), one-legged horizontal jump from the run to the two-legged jump on the trampoline vertically into the air.
Grab jump:
Launch with arm pull forwards upwards, legs stretched out as horizontally as possible forwards after the push-off and touch the feet with the hands (if mobility allows). Extend the body again and come to a safe stance.
The participants practise the form of movement independently using series pictures or based on the demonstration of the exercise by the sports leader. The instructor (or a partner) gives feedback, provides support and checks that the exercise is being performed correctly.

Roll backwards through the handstand (Streuli)
Floor and apparatus gymnastics









Roll backwards from an upright position, placing your feet on the floor as quickly and as close as possible behind your hands. Curl your upper body like a turtle shell during the entire rolling movement from the top of your head to your tailbone. Roll over the upper back and shoulders and not over the head. At the end of the roll, push your body into a handstand (full body stretch). The arms can be bent at first and then stretched or remain stretched throughout the movement. From the handstand, place the legs on the floor to return to the standing position.
In order to be able to perform this sequence of movements, it is necessary to be able to roll forwards and backwards, have appropriate support in the arms and master the tilt kick movement.
