In this video, Christina Gambino shares a series of effective exercises and drills designed to improve leap technique for gymnasts at any level. Whether you’re a gymnast, coach, parent, or gym owner, these tips can help elevate performance and boost scores—just by focusing on leaps.

What Judges Are Looking For:

To score well on leaps, judges expect:

  • Height and amplitude
  • A full 180-degree split
  • Even leg separation
  • Clean form through the legs, knees, and toes

Christina breaks down exactly how to build the strength and control needed to meet these standards. These drills target the muscles involved in leaps, helping athletes build consistency and correct form through muscle memory.

Perfect for warm-ups, conditioning, or targeted skill development, these exercises can make a measurable difference in your routine.
