- Title
Coaching the Tkatchev on Uneven Bars.
- Authors
Roskoski, Bart
- Abstract
This article is a summary of Bart Roskoski's presentation at the 2010 Minnesota Women's State Congress on release skills for Uneven Bars. The notes collected in this article contain instructions on teaching the Tkatchev. Bart Roskoski explains he often teaches the Tkatchev at his gym, starting with his Level 8 optional gymnasts. He begins by first teaching falling and re-grasping drills and stresses these are very important for athletes to master in order to safely perform this skill, particularly at meets. He then outlines a series of drills for developing the gymnast's understanding and spatial orientation on floor, tramp bar (including a clever alternative training aid for clubs without access to a tramp bar), and tramp. He argues there is no need to use all or many drills and encourages using specific drills to target individual problems. He ends by describing training progressions on a single pit bar rail, although he personally spends most of his coaching time between the channel-bar (which was not available at the facility at which he presented the lecture.)
