I have recently returned to coaching and I am having problems spotting a full on the FX.....

Make sure that the gymnast will be twisting in to you. Bump the set, then spot the chest around to the ground. Now, with that said, spotting a full on floor really isn't necessary. Teach a good layout. Develop a good layout with a late 1/2, then twist the full. All of this can be done without ever spotting if each step is developed properly.

hey tipguy you are just ahead of me tonite. I agree withtip guy. Teach the half first. Once they can do a solid half, just have them pull harder and longer for the full. If you want you can have them land on a soft mat (incase they land on their buts) but you should not have to spot a full if they have a solid half.
