Cast squat on

Basic skill

• The cast squat on for most gymnasts is more a mental thing than physical. A certain level of confidence is required to commit to casting sufficiently and really pushing with the arms in order to get ones feet on the bar.
• Place a large mat, or stacked mats so that the mats are just under the bar. The gymnast should start in a hollow prone with their hands on the bar and jump to squat on the bar.
• Ensure the gymnast is keeping their weight over their hands throughout this skill.
